Abstract :
This study aims to assess and analyze the
effect on air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, NH3,
Ozone) during different lockdown phases in Dewas, M.P.
India. These different lockdown phases are classified as
pre-lockdown (01 Jan – 24 Mar), lockdown (25 Mar – 31
May) and post lockdown (1 Jun – 31 Dec). The air
pollutants dataset was acquired from the CPCB website
from the duration of 2018 to 2022. A comparative
analysis was employed to evaluate the distribution of air
pollutants throughout the year including the lockdown
phase. Furthermore, hypothesis testing was conducted
using a z-test to ascertain the facts obtained through
comparative analysis. Consequently, the outcomes
revealed that the concentration level of particulate
matter along with gaseous pollutants significantly
reduced except for ozone during the lockdown phase.
