Abstract

Since the advent of industrialization, air pollution has significantly increased and is now a serious concern to public health issues. Using environmental datasets from remote sensing and ground stations, acute respiratory infection (ARI) records from the Annual Health Survey, and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) from MODIS data, this study examines the spatiotemporal variations in air pollution and its health impacts in Jharkhand, India. The findings show notable regional differences, with northern and eastern Jharkhand having greater aerosol concentrations than the southwest. Between 2000 and 2017, Gumla had the lowest mean AOD (0.227 ± 0.02) while Godda district had the highest (0.482 ± 0.05). The variations in AOD revealed the aerosols leading were 33.61% lower during Pre-monsoon than post-monsoon on a seasonal basis. Analysis of health data showed changing patterns in ARI: urban regions saw greater instances by 24.46% (2011–12) and 23.07% (2012–13), whereas rural populations were 41.46% more impacted in 2010–11. The burden of ARI was 4.1% higher in females than in males. Assessments of environmental sensitivity revealed proportionate relationships between aerosol concentration and both atmospheric temperature (AT) and land surface temperature (LST) in the study area. This study emphasizes how useful geospatial methods are for sustainable management and environmental monitoring. The results give policymakers practical advice on how to match mitigation plans with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), guaranteeing focused actions for Jharkhand's public health and air quality improvement.
