Abstract

When hazardous substances, originating mostly from human activity, are present
in the Earths; atmosphere and have the potential to negatively impact both the environment and
human health, it is referred to as air pollution. The main focus of this research paper is to identify
and quantify the dangerous particles in the air that are mostly responsible for air pollution. To do
this, two districts in Bangladesh, Dinajpur and Dhaka, have been compared, and information on
greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and aerosol) over 23 years
between 2000 and 2023 in a two-year interval using the tool remote sensing (Sentinel 5 image)
and the programming language Anaconda has been obtained. Eventually, a trend in greenhouse
gas emissions will be found, and it will be determined whether or not this trend is related to
temperature. Following this, a comparison of the amounts of greenhouse gases in Dhaka and
Dinajpur will be shown, and with the help of this, the temperature over the following five to ten
years can also be predicted. Additionally, KII and a questionnaire survey will be carried out to
investigate how human health, like asthma and skin diseases, is affected by air quality. This
study also attempts to provide practical long-term solutions to these issues by recommending
substitutes, as quick fixes are rarely effective. In this way, the local administration can
implement locally led adaptation measures (LLA), such as increasing the number of sheds and
planting more vegetation, with the goal of reducing the emissions of harmful gases. Moreover,
through this policy makers can mitigate the negative effects of air pollution by supporting clean energy sources, guaranteeing appropriate industrial placement, and controlling industry emissions.
