Article Synopsis
- Fine particulate matter (PM) is a major pollutant in urban areas like Guwahati, posing serious health risks, and this study employs low-cost sensors to measure PM concentrations across multiple sites over a year.
- Seasonal variations greatly affect PM levels, with the highest concentrations found in winter (113.05 µg/m³) and the lowest during the monsoon (32.36 µg/m³), linked to local weather conditions that hinder PM dispersion.
- The study also highlights how air quality is influenced by regional and transboundary factors, with urban PM levels affected by local industrial and traffic activities, alongside the prevailing wind patterns.
