• Abstract: Air quality has major impact on a country's socio-economic position and identifying major air pollution sources is at the heart of tackling the issue. Spatially and temporally distributed air quality data acquisition across a country as varied as India has been a challenge to such analysis. The launch of the Sentinel-5P satellite has helped in the observation of a wider variety of air pollutants than measured before at a global scale on a daily basis. In this chapter, spatio-temporal multi pollutant data retrieved from Sentinel-5P satellite is used to cluster states as well as districts in India and associated average monthly pollution signature and trends depicted by each of the clusters are derived and presented.The clustering signatures can be used to identify states and districts based on the types of pollutants emitted by various pollution sources.

  We deal with air quality observations in a city-wide network of ground monitoring stations. We propose a conditioning block that embeds past and future covariates into the current observations. We find that conditioning on future weather information has a greater impact than considering past traffic conditions.

  Areas adjacent to pollution sources often have high ambient pollution concentrations, and those areas are commonly referred to as air pollution hotspots. We propose a two-step approach to detect hotspots from mobile sensing data, which includes local spike detection and sample-weighted clustering. As a soft-validation, we build hotspot inference models for cities with and without mobile sensing data.
