Effect of Heatwave In Pollutant Concentration In Kolkata City during Summer 2022

Abstract

Clean air is essential for sustaining a healthy life and ensuring the well-being of the ecosystem. With rising levels of air pollution in the world, maintaining good air quality is a crucial requirement of the day. In this study, the effects of heatwave on the air pollutant level were observed and a correlation study was conducted demonstrating a positive association between temperature and the concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, and O3. The results of this study lead to the conclusion that temperature has the greatest impact on PM10 concentration levels compared to other pollutants.
