| contents | <p><span>Various technological advancements and human activities cause different types of pollution. Air pollution is one of the major types of pollution, considered a threat to human life as it directly affects human health. In Mumbai, the "Dream City," which is undergoing rapid urbanization, air pollution is high. The air quality in this city is constantly worsening due to various factors. The aim of the study is to measure and analyze the Air Quality Index (AQI) in the G ward of Greater Mumbai and to understand the reasons behind it. The research methodology consists of using secondary sources to study previous work in this area and to identify gaps in the research. Primary data were collected through the AirCare app to calculate the AQI of different locations. The major findings of the study show that the GN ward has comparatively higher AQI levels than the GS ward. Areas like Prabhadevi and Parel were noted to have lower AQI, which is a positive sign. The recommendation is to reduce the use of private vehicles and raise awareness among people to promote a greener environment. From the perception study, it was observed that people are aware of air pollution, but providing them with solution measures to reduce air pollution is needed.</span></p> |
