Analysing Air Quality Index of cities

“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, but only about eight minutes without air”
― Hal Lindsey

The quote's lines are strong enough to tell us that how immensely breathing is important for humans

So we know that air is what keeps humans alive but what kind of air ?
Inhaled air should be clean i.e it should have lower amounts of particulate matters and other gases which is not utilized by our bodies.

But is the air that we breathe clean enough? How do we know that ?
These questions can be only answered by monitoring air and understanding its components of evaluation.

Air Quality Index or AQI is the analysis of pollutants present in air due to human and natural activities. It's a meter that shows how much the air you breathe in is polluted and the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern and different cities have different reasons why the air gets polluted.

Air pollution is present in all major parts,specifically in developing countries of the world and the fact that in South Asia, it is ranked as the sixth most dangerous killer.

In the recent pandemic time frame multiple reports that AQI levels showed a major improvement than the previous year

This is how AQI level are computed

So we're going compare some data and see if it matches out

As a first step, let's upload our Jupyter notebook to Jovian.ml.

project_name = "Air pollution"
!pip install jovian --upgrade -q
import jovian
jovian.commit(project="Air pollution")
