Problem Statement
● Increasing air pollution causes a risk to heart and respiratory disease such
as asthma, emphysema, COPD etc.
● Air pollution pose a serious threat to the ecosystem and to the health of all
living creatures.
● Life quality is lowered by poor air quality and pollutants in the air irritate
people.
The air quality index (AQI) indicates how polluted the air of a region or area.
Because of COVID-19 guidelines and regulations, we saw a change in air
quality. By analyzing the AQI data from that phase, we can acquire knowledge
to reduce air pollution and improve air quality.
Motivation
We deal with the collection of historical data of Air Quality Iindex from 2019 to 2022 to analysis the effect of
COVID. By using this analysis we can find out which step should we take to improve air quality in different cities
and what will be our next step to control pollution.
In this research we mainly focus on
• Collecting air quality index data of different cities to analyze air pollution.
• Analyzing the effect of COVID-19 guidelines and regulations on air quality.
• Using statistics to show the changes in air quality.
• Developing methods that can properly forecast the air quality data.
• Suggesting different ways to reduce air pollution using the knowledge acquired from analyzing the data.

Duplicity
• Finding and showing out where data and values are duplicates.
• Removing the duplicate entities.
Fill Missing
• Setting the date coloumn as index.
• Finding missing values from dateTime Inde and fill the missing values.
Resampling
• Rescaling to generalize the data.
• Resampling data for easy estimation and analysis.
We created the Air Quality Index (AQI) dataset focusing on the polluted cities of the Asia region. The dataset
covered data of nine polluted cities of the Asia region. They are Dhaka, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bishkek,
Karachi, Lahore, Shanghai, and Colombo.
Figure: Dataset Preprocessing Approach
Methodology(3/4): Data Analysis
Data analysis include seasonal decomposition of a time series dataset that deconstructs a time series into
several components, each represention including:-
 Trend: indicate the persistent increasing or decreasing direction of data.
 Seasonality: reflect the fact of influencing dataset by seasonal factors.
 Residuality: describe random, irregular influence on time series dataset.
Extract seasonal composition
using Seasonal Trend
Decomposition
Refine each of the extracted seasonal
components
Extract the trend Extract the residual
Figure: The Process of Seasonal Decomposition
Methodology(4/4): Time Series Forecasting
Time series forecasting means predicting new values according to time. For forecasting three methods
have used:
1. ARIMA
2. Prophet
3. LSTM
The performance of these methods is evaluated by using four evolution measures. They are:
• Mean Absolute Error (MAE)
• Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)
• Mean Squared Error (MSE)
• R-Squared Score
By analysing the perfomance of forecasting methods, we choose the best method according to overall
perfomace of all methods.

Initial steps that we recommend by analyzing the impact of lockdown on air quality are:
• Sustainable industrialization to use less fuel and energy.
• Reducing traffic in cities.
• Restrict avoidable outdoor gathering.
• Use renewable fuel in vehicle and industries.
• Normalize working from home where applicable.
• Use bicycle and walking for moving from place to place.
• Planting more trees and increasing consciousness among people.
