Break Point Analysis of Particulate Matter

Abstract

Fine particles like PM_2.5 are known to trigger or exacerbate unending ailment, for example, asthma, heart assault, bronchitis and other respiratory issues. The factors affecting the density of PM_2.5 in atmosphere are temperature, humidity and pressure. Other factors like burning fire crackers, thrashes, etc. compliments them which leads to adverse effect of PM_2.5 on mankind. We cannot control the natural activities of temperature, humidity and pressure but we can at least prevent complimenting them by knowing at what duration of a year there is sudden change in density of PM_2.5 in environment due to these factors. In this research, prediction of breakpoint of PM_2.5 density in a year with respect to these factors using segment analysis is being tried.
