Association between sea-land breeze and particulate matter in five coastal urban locations in India.

Particulate matter less than 2.5 μm particle diameter (PM) is the most significant environmental issue globally. PM is an integral component of air quality monitoring and management, human health, weather, climate, and epidemiological research.

Spatio-temporal variability of near-surface air pollutants at four distinct geographical locations in Andhra Pradesh State of India.

India is highly vulnerable to air pollution in the recent decade, especially urban areas with rapidly growing urbanisation and industrialisation. Here, we present spatio-temporal variability of air pollutants at four distinct locations in Andhra Pradesh State of India. The mean concentrations of air pollutants were generally higher at Visakhapatnam site than Amaravati, Rajahmundry, and Tirumala sites.
