Correlation along with scaling behavior of particulate matter, prevailing high in Pakistan, India and China

Abstract

Due to unchecked anthropogenic activities coupled with growing competition for industrialization, the quantity of particulate matter is growing hard. Global surveys describing the air quality and other environmental parameters have showed great concern due to the in particulate matter over the states of various countries more specifically Pakistan, India and China. It is significantly concluded that concentration of fine particulate matter is on increasing track. However, involvement of maximum anthropogenic activities has accelerated it up to great extent. Among Pakistan, India and China, China is showing the highest concentration of fine particulate matter and the major reason behind this phenomenon is the great development of industries and countless running vehicles on the road. Therefore, our study have provided the clear depiction of alarming threat along with its positive as well as negative correlation that are supportive for developing the policies to control the situation and devise the environment friendly measures.
