Air Quality Management

Geospatial Analysis of Air Quality Management refers to the application of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial data to assess, monitor, and manage air quality by analyzing the distribution and sources of pollutants in relation to geographic features and human activities. This approach enables the identification of pollution hotspots and supports informed decision-making for environmental health and regulatory policies.

Key Terms

Air Quality Index (AQI)
A numerical scale used to communicate air quality levels to the public.

Example: An AQI of 50 indicates good air quality.

Geographic Information System (GIS)
A system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data.

Example: GIS can map pollution sources in a city.

Pollutants
Substances that contaminate the air and can harm human health and the environment.

Example: Common pollutants include carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide.

Spatial Analysis
The technique of applying statistical analysis and other analytical methods to data that has a geographical or spatial aspect.

Example: Spatial analysis can identify pollution hotspots.

Remote Sensing
The acquisition of information about an object or area from a distance, typically using satellite or aerial imagery.

Example: Remote sensing can monitor forest fires and their impact on air quality.

Emission Sources
The origins of pollutants released into the atmosphere.

Example: Vehicle exhaust is a major emission source in urban areas.
