Introduction: This dataset contains images of Air Pollution for different cities in India and Nepal. The dataset is divided into two folders: CombinedDataset and Countrywise_Dataset.
Total number of image dataset: 12,240
Image Size: 224*224
Air Quality Index (AQI) Class and its defination used in the dataset.
There are a total of six classes of Air Pollution, which we represent in our dataset as follows:
- Good (0-50): Air quality is considered satisfactory and air pollution poses little or no risk.
- Moderate (51-100): Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants, there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
- Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101-150): Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects, but the general public is unlikely to be affected.
- Unhealthy (151-200): Some members of the general public may experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects.
- Very Unhealthy (201-300): Health alert: The risk of health effects is increased for everyone.
- Hazardous (301-500): Health warning of emergency conditions: Everyone is more likely to be affected.

Combined dataset:
The combined dataset folder contains two subfolders.
- All_img: This subfolder contains all the collected images from all AQI classes.
- INDandNEP: This subfolder contains six different subfolders representing six different classes of AQI.
Location, Filename, Year, Month, Day, Hour, AQI, PM2.5, PM10, O3, CO, SO2, NO2, and AQI_Class
CountrywiseDataset:
This folder contains two subfolders representing the countries from which the dataset was collected.
- India:
Location, Filename, Year, Month, Day, Hour, AQI, PM2.5, PM10, O3, CO, SO2, NO2, and AQI_Class
- Nepal:
Location, Filename, Year, Month, Day, Hour, AQI, PM2.5, PM10, O3, CO, SO2, NO2, and AQI_Class

Dataset Collection Process:
1. Visit the site: The first step in collecting the air pollution data was to personally visit the site. This involved physically going to the location and capturing images and videos of the area.
2. Note current parameters: While visiting the site, various parameters related to air pollution were noted. These included measurements of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, CO, etc. These parameters were noted by referring to publicly available data sources such as the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) website. For India we used https://app.cpcbccr.com/AQI_India/ and for Nepal we used: https://www.tomorrow.io/weather/NP/4/Biratnagar/079711/hourly/
3. Preprocess images: Once the images and videos were captured, they were preprocessed to remove any images that were blurry, overexposed, or had other quality issues. Only the images that met the desired quality criteria were selected for further analysis.
4. Extract frames from videos: In addition to the images, videos were also captured at the site. These videos were processed to extract frames that were suitable for further analysis. Frames that were too blurry or otherwise of low quality were discarded.
5. Log data: Finally, all the data collected during the site visit, including the images, videos, and air pollution parameters, were logged in a structured format.

- The dataset is divided into two folders: the CombinedDataset and Countrywise_Dataset.
- To access the images in the Combined_Dataset folder, go to the folder corresponding to the class of AQI you are interested in.
- To access the data in the CountrywiseDataset folder, go to the folder of the country you are interested in, either India or Nepal.
- You can use this dataset to train machine learning models to predict AQI for different cities.
