Abstract
This study focuses on the analysis of air quality behavior, with a specific focus on tropospheric nitrogen dioxide as a parameter of interest in the Andean region of Colombia. To achieve this analysis, 12 cities in the country were taken as reference points. By processing more than 250,000 images, crucial data were extracted to evaluate the behavior of air quality during the period between 2019 and 2022. The results reveal a counterintuitive behavior, as the city with the most inhabitants is not the one with the highest pollution levels.
期刊介绍:
RASĀYAN Journal of Chemistry [RJC] signifies a confluence of diverse streams of chemistry to stir up the cerebral powers of its contributors and readers. By introducing the journal by this name, we humbly intent to provide an open platform to all researchers, academicians and readers to showcase their ideas and research findings among the people of their own fraternity and to share their vast repository of knowledge and information. The journal seeks to embody the spirit of enquiry and innovation to augment the richness of existing chemistry literature and theories. We also aim towards making this journal an unparalleled reservoir of information and in process aspire to inculcate and expand the research aptitude.
