Seasonal Variations, Forecasting of Pollutants and Variations Due to Stubble Burning

Gaurav Rajpoot, Shobha Ram, Ashish Kumar Sisodia

Abstract


The negative effects of air pollution on health of living beings through ambient air seeking a lot attention in past years. The AQI which can be estimated with a formula, based on air pollutants concentration, which is used government authorities to get the status of quality of air in a given location. It is necessary to monitor the air quality, which is being inhaled by us to keep ourselves safe
from diseases related to respiration. In states of North India, stubble burning is the prime reason for air pollution. As burning is a cheaper and a fast way to clear field, farmers prefer this method of burning. There is no law to solve this problem. It is an origin of various pollutants like CO2, CO, NOx (Nitrogen oxides), SO2 (sulphur oxides), CH4, PM0, and PM2.5 (Particulate matter). These causes serious health issue and damages environment. Delhi-NCR experience around 20,000 unexplained deaths. Diseases like pneumoconiosis, bronchitis, coronial opacity, blindness, and so on, occurs because of air pollution. This addition of harmful smog also results in climate change, global
warming and haze. In this research, the forecasting, variation of AQI in different seasons and how much stubble burning is affecting our environment is shown.
