The Effects of Temperature and Humidity on Air Quality in Small Industrial Area

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between temperature, humidity, and air quality in small industrial areas. The research aims to determine how these environmental factors influence air pollutant concentrations, particularly CO2 levels, and whether optimal temperature and humidity ranges can be identified to improve air quality. Data was collected using the PCE-AQD 50 air quality monitor, measuring temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, and other pollutants. The study employed a quantitative approach, analysing real-time atmospheric data from a small industrial setting. The results indicate a strong correlation between temperature, humidity, and air quality. Higher temperatures were associated with increased CO2 levels, while humidity variations affected pollutant dispersion. An optimal range of temperature and humidity was identified, where air quality remained within acceptable limits. The findings provide valuable insights for environmental monitoring and industrial air quality management. By understanding how atmospheric conditions impact pollutant levels, industries can implement strategies to improve workplace air quality and comply with regulatory standards. Further research is recommended to explore these relationships across different industrial environments.
