Abstract

Urban dust pollution is a growing concern, especially in highly populated areas. This study examines factors affecting dust concentration using data mining techniques and statistical analysis. We collected responses from different urban locations in Bangladesh to understand perceptions of dust levels and their sources. Our findings reveal that road dust, vehicle emissions, and construction activities are the main contributors. Additionally, seasonal changes play a significant role, with higher dust levels observed during dry seasons. A chi-square test confirmed no relation between duration of residence and dust perception, while regression analysis showed a strong link between traffic density and dust concentration. The results suggest that improving urban policies, increasing greenery, and controlling emissions can reduce dust pollution. Real-time dust monitoring could also help communities take preventive measures. This research highlights the urgent need for data-driven solutions to enhance urban air quality and create healthier living environments.
