Abstract—The deterioration of air quality and rapid deforestation are critical environmental issues that require immediate attention. To address these challenges, the Eco-Air Quality Monitoring and Reforestation Assessment (EAQ-MRA) project was initiated. This comprehensive study utilizes data collected from air quality sensors and historical deforestation records spanning a decade to predict and recommend effective reforestation strategies aimed at mitigating pollution and halting deforestation.
This paper presents the current state of research on air quality monitoring, deforestation, and the interplay between these two ecological crises through an extensive literature review. The methodology employed in data collection and analysis is detailed, highlighting the use of advanced sensor technology for air quality assessment.
The core findings of this research reveal a deep-seated connection between deforestation and declining air quality, underscoring the urgency for cohesive environmental intervention. Further-more, our predictive models offer specific recommendations for government officials and environmental policymakers, indicating the precise hectares of reforestation needed to combat pollution and deforestation in various regions.
Despite inherent challenges and limitations, the EAQ-MRA project sets the stage for future endeavors and emphasizes the crucial role of technology, data-driven insights, and informed decision-making in safeguarding the environment.
This study has the potential to inspire and inform immediate actions towards a sustainable future where cleaner air and thriving forests coexist. The research aims to provide a concise overview of its goals, methodology, core findings, and implications, giving readers a glimpse into the significance of the study. The findings may lead to practical applications for preserving the environment and promoting a healthier ecosystem. The implications of this research are far-reaching, as it holds the potential to contribute towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.
