Here is a table covering all the pollutants mentioned in your dataset (AP001.csv), including their size, effects, and categorization based on their impact:
| Pollutant | Size/Measurement | Effects on Health & Environment | Categorization (Good to Hazardous) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PM2.5 | ≤ 2.5 µm | Deep lung penetration, cardiovascular & respiratory diseases. | Good (0-30), Moderate (31-60), Unhealthy (61-90), Very Unhealthy (91-120), Hazardous (121+) |
| PM10 | ≤ 10 µm | Causes throat irritation, respiratory issues, and reduced visibility. | Good (0-50), Moderate (51-100), Unhealthy (101-250), Very Unhealthy (251-350), Hazardous (351+) |
| NO (Nitric Oxide) | ppb (parts per billion) | Contributes to smog & acid rain, impacts lung function. | Low (0-40), Moderate (41-100), High (101-200), Very High (201-300), Hazardous (301+) |
| NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide) | ppb | Irritates lungs, worsens asthma, contributes to acid rain. | Low (0-40), Moderate (41-100), High (101-200), Very High (201-300), Hazardous (301+) |
| NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) | ppb | Forms ground-level ozone & smog, affects lung tissue. | Low (0-50), Moderate (51-150), High (151-250), Very High (251-350), Hazardous (351+) |
| NH3 (Ammonia) | µg/m³ | Irritates eyes, skin, and lungs; high levels cause breathing problems. | Low (0-50), Moderate (51-150), High (151-300), Very High (301-500), Hazardous (501+) |
| SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide) | ppb | Leads to acid rain, respiratory diseases, and lung damage. | Low (0-20), Moderate (21-80), High (81-200), Very High (201-350), Hazardous (351+) |
| CO (Carbon Monoxide) | mg/m³ | Reduces oxygen in blood, causing dizziness & fatal poisoning. | Good (0-1), Moderate (1.1-5), Unhealthy (5.1-10), Very Unhealthy (10.1-20), Hazardous (20.1+) |
| Ozone (O₃) | µg/m³ | Causes lung damage, eye irritation, and worsens heart diseases. | Good (0-60), Moderate (61-120), Unhealthy (121-180), Very Unhealthy (181-240), Hazardous (241+) |
| Benzene | µg/m³ | Carcinogenic, damages blood cells, affects immune system. | Safe (0-1), Moderate (1.1-5), High (5.1-10), Very High (10.1-20), Hazardous (20.1+) |
| Toluene | µg/m³ | Affects central nervous system, causing headaches & dizziness. | Safe (0-1), Moderate (1.1-5), High (5.1-10), Very High (10.1-20), Hazardous (20.1+) |
| Ethylbenzene | µg/m³ | Affects lungs, liver, kidneys; long-term exposure damages hearing. | Safe (0-1), Moderate (1.1-5), High (5.1-10), Very High (10.1-20), Hazardous (20.1+) |
| Xylene | µg/m³ | Causes throat, lung irritation; impacts central nervous system. | Safe (0-1), Moderate (1.1-5), High (5.1-10), Very High (10.1-20), Hazardous (20.1+) |
| Temperature (Temp) | °C | Affects pollution dispersion and air quality. | Normal (10-35°C), Extreme (>45°C affects air quality) |
| Relative Humidity (RH) | % | Higher humidity can increase pollutant trapping. | Normal (30-60%), Extreme (>80% can cause smog effects) |
| Wind Speed (WS) | m/s | Higher wind speeds disperse pollutants. | Low (<1 m/s leads to stagnation), Moderate (1-5 m/s ideal), High (>10 m/s disperses pollutants) |
