Abstract
Pollution is a major issue among the countries over the world. India is one of them. Out of the other pollutions, air pollution has the most powerful impact on our daily life as well as on environment. The present study tries to analyse the relative position and relative performance of the Indian states region wise for selected pollutants like SO2, NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 separately. It also tries to evaluate the relative position on the basis of these above pollutants together for different regions separately. This paper considers the annual average value of all concentration of air Pollution during 2007 to 2023 for 16 major States in India. The findings suggest that North and South zone states show overall good performance and also some states from different zones are doing so well with respect to different pollutants over the years. This paper prescribes some policies for reducing the air Pollution and suggests to monitor the air quality by better machine system and using AI if possible. It also suggests that Government may create some strong rules and regulations on using Vehicles, burning fuels, throwing solid garbage etc for better public health and environment.
