Temporal and spatial statistical analysis of ambient air quality of Assam (India).

Guwahati is one of the most polluted cities in India provided a novel evidence to find out the impact of air pollution. Present study has been suffered from several limitations, like (i) the daily or weekly concentration of air pollutants was not gained due to limited monitoring technique, (2) dearth of regular information of PM2.5 collection, which were not regularly connected. Present study is used to estimate the spatio-temporal variations (2015-2017) of gaseous and particulate air pollutants using GIS and spatial statistical approach. Probably, this is the first study to report the spatial and temporal variation of air quality distribution in Assam. Results showed there is a negative impact on the ambient air quality status of Assam. These industries and mining areas contribute significantly to the air pollution in this deltaic region. This district-wise information of air pollution congregation would be valuable for urban planners and decision architects to efficiently administer air quality for health and environmental purposes. The dissimilarity in geographical dissemination of the pollutant concentration has been more helpful in seasonal inevitability. Consequently, a continuous set of data and more parameters can be included to attain more reliable results.
