The contamination of the environment is a growing concern in the world's urban and industrialized regions. It's been observed that the concentration of air pollutants in the troposphere has increased dramatically in recent years. Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh, is a major economic and industrial hub in southern India. There are around 73,000 small, medium, and large industrial businesses located inside the broader metropolis, making it one of the most populated metropolitan regions in the world with almost 6.8 million residents. Motor cars are the primary cause of air pollution, followed by factories and other industrial sources. The current study was initiated to evaluate the air quality in Hyderabad, which is undergoing rapid urban and industrial development, because of the scarcity of data on the levels of ambient gaseous pollutants in tropical areas, especially Asian countries, and because of the health effects and economic burden associated with elevated levels of air pollutants. In order to determine the correlation between gaseous air pollutants and climatological factors, this study collected air samples at altitudes ranging from 1.5 to 3.0 meters above ground level to track the levels of particulate matter (PM), superfine particulate matter (SPM), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and Sulphur (SO2). The data as a whole show that gaseous contaminants are progressively decreasing air quality. Our research led us to the conclusion that a combination of public education initiatives, media intervention packages, strong government action plans and programs, and the strategic distribution of high-quality fuels is necessary to reduce air pollution from cars.
