Air Quality Monitoring Using Low-Cost Sensors in Urban Areas of Jodhpur, Rajasthan.

ABSTRACT: Air pollution poses a significant health hazard in urban areas across the globe, with India being one of the most affected countries. This paper presents environmental monitoring study conducted in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, to assess air quality in diverse urban environments. The study involved continuous indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, focusing on particulate matter (PM_2.5) levels, bioaerosols, and associated meteorological parameters. Laser sensor-based low-cost air quality monitors were utilized to monitor air quality and Anderson 6-stage Cascade Impactor & Petri Dish methods for bioaerosol monitoring. The study revealed that PM_2.5 levels were consistently high throughout the year, highlighting the severity of air pollution in the region. Notably, indoo
