Relationship between temperature and air pollution in hot areas: A comprehensive review paper

While temperature has long been referred to as a catalyst for pollutants to be more airborne, it is nclear however a rise in temperature affects pollution throughout heatwaves. Through a regression analysis of the connection between selected air pollutants i.e. Ozone gas (O3), particulate matter (PM10,particles less than 10 μm in diameter), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and temperatures in urban and rural areas of the state Uttar Pradesh in India, it had been found that in heatwaves, all pollutant levels rose at every inspection site utmost temperature coinciding with the peak levels of O3 and PM10. These findings established that the influence of temperature on air pollution failed to change with rural or urban locations as air pollutants (O3, PM10, and NO2) increases with increasing temperatures, significantly throughout heatwave sir respective of urban and rural location. Levels of ozone were found to extend by quite 50% with increase in temperature. This supports studies wherever the incidence of high levels of pollutants has once and for all been found to be rather more rife throughout prolonged heatwaves. The implications of these findings are important to the establishment of long-term prevention measures in heatwave plans. When a heatwave is forecast, additional measures to reduce air pollutant concentrations may be appropriate when commencing emergency responses.
