About
This dataset provides vital air quality information for various cities across India, collected between 2015 and 2020. Monitoring air quality is of immense importance for human well-being, and this collection offers hourly and daily measurements of the Air Quality Index (AQI) and various pollutants from different stations. It serves as a crucial resource for understanding environmental health and pollution trends in India.
Columns
- City: The name of the city where the air quality data was recorded.
- Date: The specific date of the recorded air quality data.
- PM2.5: Particulate Matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or less, measured in micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m3).
- PM10: Particulate Matter with a diameter of 10 micrometres or less, measured in micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m3).
- NO: Nitric Oxide concentration, measured in micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m3).
- NO2: Nitric Dioxide concentration, measured in micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m3).
- NOx: Any Nitric x-oxide, measured in parts per billion (ppb).
- NH3: Ammonia concentration, measured in micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m3).
- CO: Carbon Monoxide concentration, measured in milligrams per cubic metre (mg/m3).
- SO2: Sulphur Dioxide concentration, measured in micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m3).
- O3: Ozone concentration, measured in micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m3).
