Abstract
Pollution refers to the adulteration of the atmosphere with substances that intervene with the nature and hence affects the health of humans in some cases critically. Off late, the quality of air in urban places has been found unfavorable and Delhi is no exception for this. The National Air Quality Standards have stressed that the main pollutants are particulate matter (PM). A thorough analysis of past years of quality of air in Delhi-NCR has been done by us for certain areas, and broadly, the analysis results of air quality data have revealed that the Air Quality Index (AQI) was high during the winters, low during the monsoons and average during summers. This analysis has been done for identifying the variations in the air quality and their effects on human health. We have further applied this data to an algorithm to predict the future air quality results with great accuracy so that in future the predicted data can be used for taking measures to control air pollution and prevent the hazards resulting from the same. This paper has considered the air quality data for the three most polluted areas of Delhi, i.e. ITO, Anand Vihar and Jahangirpuri at Delhi. If we can predict the future air quality in a given area, then the major issues of air pollution can be curtailed beforehand so that the critical health-related issues can be prevented.
