I mean could all of these four natural?

1. Stubble burning is going to raise a lot of problems with respect to atmosphere pollution. ("air pollution" as result)
2. It's going to raise a lot of problems which like lung cancer with respect to atmosphere pollution. ("air pollution" as reason)
3. With respect to atmosphere pollution, stubble burning is going to raise a lot of problems. ("air pollution" as result)
4. With respect to atmosphere pollution, it's going to raise a lot of problems which like lung cancer. ("air pollution" as reason)

@ap3n The first and third ones sound natural. The second and fourth ones do not.

You wouldn't use "with respect to X" when referring to an issue caused by X. You use it when talking about some property of X. You might say "With respect to lung cancer, atmospheric pollution is going to raise a lot of problems". This is because you are referring to problems concerning lung cancer, and how they're influenced by atmospheric pollution. With the other sentences, you are referring to how atmospheric pollution is influenced by stubble burning.

Are they both natural, different meanings?1. It's going to raise a lot of problems with respect to atmosphere pollution.2. With respect to atmosphere pollution, it's going to raise a lot of problems. See a translation

They both mean the same thing. Neither sounds off to me, but I would probably expect to hear the first phrasing over the second.

@ap3n It depends on perspective. It causes problems if you're looking at it as a health professionals. It is a problem if you're looking st it as an environmentalist.
