Air Quality Benchmark Dataset

Learning Objectives

⃣
1 Understand Air Quality Parameters – Learn about key pollutants (PM2.5,

⃣
PM10, NO2, CO, SO2, O3) and their impact on health and the environment.
2 Data Preprocessing & Cleaning – Handle missing values, outliers, and

⃣
inconsistencies in the dataset for accurate analysis.
3 Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) – Use statistical and graphical techniques GOAL
⃣
to uncover insights from air quality data.
4 Data Visualization Techniques – Implement bar graphs, scatter plots, line

⃣
plots, heatmaps, and 3D air plots to interpret trends effectively.
5 Correlation & Trend Analysis – Identify relationships between pollutants and

⃣
seasonal variations in air quality.
6 Geospatial Visualization – Map air pollution levels across different locations

⃣
using geographic plots (if applicable).
7 Time Series Analysis – Study long-term trends and patterns in air pollution
levels using line plots and rolling averages.

Methodology
1⃣ Data Collection & Importing
• The dataset used for this study is the Air Quality Benchmark Dataset, which contains air pollution levels across
different locations and time periods.

•
⃣
• The dataset was loaded into Python using Pandas for analysis and preprocessing.
2 Data Preprocessing & Cleaning
Handling Missing Values: Missing data was either removed or imputed using mean values.
• Date-Time Conversion: The dataset’ s date column was converted into a structured datetime format for
better time-series analysis.
• Outlier Detection: Box plots were used to detect and handle extreme values that could skew the results.

•
⃣
• Removing Duplicates: Any duplicate rows were removed to ensure data integrity.
3 Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
Statistical Analysis: Summary statistics such as mean, median, and standard deviation were computed for all
pollutants.
• Correlation Analysis: A heatmap was used to identify relationships between different pollutants (e.g., PM2.5
vs. NO2).
• Data Distribution Analysis: Histograms and box plots were used to understand the spread and distribution of

4⃣pollution levels.
Data Visualization
Different types of plots were created using Matplotlib and Seaborn to analyze air pollution trends:
Problem Statement:

Air pollution is a growing environmental concern, significantly impacting public health and ecosystem
balance.
Harmful pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, NO2, CO, SO2, and O3 contribute to respiratory diseases,
cardiovascular issues, and deteriorating air quality.
This study aims to analyze and visualize air pollution trends using the Air Quality Benchmark Dataset
to identify patterns, correlations, and seasonal variations. By leveraging data visualization techniques
such as bar graphs, scatter plots, line plots, and heatmaps, we aim to uncover critical insights into
pollution levels across different regions and time periods. The findings will help in developing
data-driven policy recommendations for pollution control and urban planning. Additionally, this study
can serve as a foundation for future predictive modeling to forecast pollution levels and take
proactive measures.
