Abstract
Air pollution is a major environmental and public health concern in India, driven by rapid urbanization, industrialization, vehicular emissions, and construction activities. This study presents a comparative analysis of the Air Quality Index (AQI) of five major cities in Maharashtra—Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad)—using secondary data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB). The analysis shows that Mumbai and Pune generally record higher AQI levels due to heavy traffic and industrial activities, while Nashik experiences relatively better air quality. AQI tends to worsen during winter and improve during the monsoon because of seasonal meteorological conditions. The study highlights the need for effective pollution control measures, sustainable urban planning, improved public transport, and continuous air quality monitoring to safeguard environmental quality and public health.
Concentration of different pollutants such as O₃ , NO₂ , SO₂ , CO, PM₁₀ , and PM2.5 in the atmosphere is called air pollution, which created several challenges in the environment and is considered one of the dangerous phenomenal in the current world, in Afghanistan urbanization in last two decades had significant impac...

Rapid urbanization, industrial expansion, and desert dust transport make India's arid and semiarid cities among the most pollution‐burdened globally. However, chronic multi‐pollutant exposure remains poorly characterized through integrated multicity assessments, despite its role in increasing risks of respiratory d...
One of the biggest environmental issues in cities is air pollution. Over 80% of urban dwellers are thought to be exposed to air pollution levels above the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommended limits. This work aims to compare the air quality index (AQI) with the WHO 2014 guideline during 2024 and to determine...

Air pollution is an important international challenge due to its increasing impacts both on public health and the environment. The Air Quality Index simplifies the complex data by transforming the parameters into a single numerical value. However, accurately estimating the AQI stays a difficult because of the complicat...

Bad air quality is one of the most serious issues cities are struggling with today, especially in rapidly growing
megacities such as Dhaka. Increasing traffic volume and congestion make vehicular emissions one of the major sources of
urban air pollution. This study examines the spatial correlation between traffic activ...
