Multi-Horizon Air Quality Index Prediction incorporating Spatial Hotspot Analysis and Meteorological Drivers

Urban air pollution poses significant environmental and public health challenges in rapidly urbanizing Indian cities. This study presents a GIS-integrated MLframework for multi-horizon (1-24 hours) forecasting of the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Nashik using multi-pollutant time-series data. Air quality observations from...

DECIPHERING URBAN AIR QUALITY THROUGH MULTI-POLLUTANT ASSESSMENT

The increasing urbanisation, traffic, industrial activities, construction and energy usage has further exacerbated air quality issues in urban areas of India. The study adopted a quantitative, observational and longitudinal approach to assess the multi-pollutant pattern in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Bengaluru...
