Geographical Analysis of the Interplay Between Air Pollutants and Meteorological Factors in Bhiwadi Town

Air quality serves as a critical measure globally for evaluating current air pollution levels and their associated health risks. In India, many regions experience alarmingly high concentrations of key air pollutants. This study explores the relationship between specific air pollutants (NO₂, SO₂, and PM₁₀) and meteorological parameters (temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, and air pressure) in Bhiwadi town over a five-year period, from January 2019 to December 2023. Using data from two RSPCB air monitoring stations, a comprehensive statistical analysis was conducted, including trend assessments and Pearson's correlation coefficients, to examine interactions between pollutants and weather variables. The analysis revealed notable seasonal variations and significant correlations. For instance, PM₁₀ levels were heavily influenced by precipitation and wind speed, while NO₂ and SO₂ demonstrated strong associations with air pressure. These findings emphasize the critical role of meteorological factors in shaping air pollution levels and offer valuable insights for formulating policies aimed at improving air quality in Bhiwadi town. The study highlights the pressing need for effective measures to address severe urban air pollution in developing nations, with far-reaching implications for public health and environmental sustainability.
