The current study investigated the concerns about possible effects of metro infrastructure's fast growth on environment, particularly air quality. This investigates how building lines in Delhi, India, affects quality at selected locations south and west parts union territory Delhi. Different pollutants, including particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), gaseous pollutants like nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur (SO2), were monitored. Air Quality Index (AQI) was also applied to obtained data convert intricate into single digits. findings revealed that values PM10 PM2.5 beyond National Ambient Standards (NAAQS) threshold proximity work zones due construction activity. Moreover, higher NO2 concentrations noted because machinery operations vehicle emissions. emphasizes necessity efficient mitigation solutions, such as green barriers, emission control plans, dust suppression tactics, reduce negative environmental development Delhi's results this can help urban planners politicians create sustainable plans for transportation infrastructure protect environment public health.

The clean air plan in India involves a set of rules, policies, and initiatives targeted at improving the quality public health by way decreasing emissions from various sources. study aims to evaluate impact National Clean Air Program (NCAP) on lowering pollution levels outcomes Kota city, Rajasthan, highlighting progress, challenges, need for sustained emission control efforts. Kota's selection this highlights its significance as an educational hub, attracting students all over India. rapid population growth increased vehicle city cause adverse impacts quality. Improving will not only enhance residents but also contribute more conducive learning environment. action NCAP enforcing construction demolition waste management rules 2016, implementing measures like water sprinkling covered transport activities, extensive campaigns against open burning biomass waste. It includes regular checks industrial emissions, proper collection disposal, mandatory green belt development residential areas. employs mixed-method approach, combining monitoring data collected Central State Pollution Control Boards 2014 2023. examines trends key pollutants, including NO2, SO2, PM10, analyzes effect regulatory such controls rules. reveals trend NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) Rajasthan 35.35 µg/m³ 29.90 during 2023, showing significant drop COVID-19 lockdown.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been identified as a significant environmental and public health challenge, particularly due to its association with respiratory diseases like asthma. With the global rise in urbanization industrialization, PM2.5-related asthma research grown substantially over past two decades. This study aims provide comprehensive bibliometric analysis map trends, highlight key contributors, identify emerging hotspots relationship between PM2.5 We performed using Web of Science Core Collection database, covering from January 2004 September 2024. The selected studies were analyzed CiteSpace VOSviewer assess publication collaborations, through visualized networks co-occurrence analyses.
