Abstract

Urban air pollution rate has grown to alarming state across the India. Most of the cities are facing issue of poor air quality which fails to meet standards of air for good health. An air quality index(AQI) is a numeric representation used by government agencies to tell the people that how polluted the air they are breathing or how polluted it is forecast to become. As the AQI increases, an large percentage of the population is likely to experience increasingly severe adverse health effects. Number of various methods and algorithms are used by various agencies across the world to compute the AQI requires and the air pollutant concentration over a specified averaging period, the algorithms used are bsed on EPA’s (Environmental Protection Agency) method for relating hourly data to the AQI or using technologies like the big data analytics used to process terabytes of data every hour-along with a dispersion model powered by machine learning techniques to get validated, reliable information. World Air Quality Index Project is another social enterprise project started in 2007 providing AQI info for more than 80 countries, covering more than 10,000 stations in 1000 major cities via those two websites: acqin.org and waqi.info which involved in understanding, accessing and verifying those new technologies, which can replace the more traditional setups at a affordable cost. This paper aims to study the various methods used for the calculation and the forecast of the various air pollutants which can help the officials to take necessary actions against the increase of the air pollutants.
