Abstract

Air pollutants have long been known to cause major health problems across humans and all living organisms. Apart from that, they also play a crucial role in temperature inversion situations in the atmospheric layers thereby seriously impacting the radio communications, increased fog levels and decreased visibility. Appreciating the seriousness of these pollutants, this paper attempts to analyze and create a publicly available and easily accessible dataset of seven different pollutants for New Delhi region in India. This analysis and pre-processing is done to assist the researchers who wish to use the dataset for further studies like pollutant forecasting or correlation analysis, thereby promoting the research in the domain.
