Spatio-Temporal Monitoring and Assessment of Air Quality and its Impact on Public Health from Geospatial perspective over Haryana, India

Abstract. This study aims to evaluate the air quality of the Haryana state, India by utilizing Sentinel-5P satellite data. This study aims to track, quantify, and analyze the level of air pollutants in several regions of Haryana. By integrating and analyzing diverse satellite datasets, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of air quality conditions in the region and supports informed decision-making for pollution mitigation and environmental sustainability. This also examines the public health and environmental impacts of air pollution, identifies pollution sources, reviews existing policies, and also provides recommendations for prevention of air pollution. The outcomes of this study will improve the understanding of air quality dynamics in Haryana and provide preventive measures towards sustainable environmental practices. This paper presents a detailed assessment of air quality in Haryana, India, covering the period from 2019 to 2023 using satellite datasets. This evaluates the concentrations and spatial distributions of air pollutants across Haryana. The experimental results provide significant variations in pollution levels over the four years, with higher concentrations in 2019 and 2021, and lower levels in 2020 and 2023. Moreover, spatial distribution maps illustrate pollutant patterns, emphasizing the temporal and spatial changes in pollution levels. The results also highlight the ongoing challenge of increasing pollution in certain areas of Haryana and the need for continuous monitoring to improve air quality.
