“…Faisalabad is an urban city with a high concentration of particulate pollution, which mostly exceeds the safe limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of Pakistan [18]. Suspended particulate matters cause numerous types of health issues [19,20]. Environmental deprivation, including soil and water, is around 6% of the GDP of Pakistan.…”

“…Common sources of atmospheric primary and secondary organic carbon antecedents are biomass burning, vehicular exhaust, biogenic emission, and industrial emissions [39][40][41][42]. SOC often accounts for 72.21% of the total mass of organic aerosols except near strong emission sources [20]. We conducted a current study to analyze the concentration level in the ambient air in Faisalabad city and the findings of analysis for the concentration level of carbonaceous aerosols in air pollutants during the summer and winter seasons are presented in Tables 7 and 8, respectively.…”

The rapid increase in population growth due to industrialization and urbanization has resulted in air quality deterioration in Pakistan. Consequently, a considerable increase has been seen in the types of sources of air pollutants. However, the air quality of the country has deteriorated in the absence of management capabilities against air quality. Evidence from numerous governmental organizations and international bodies has specified that the environment, health, and quality of life are at high risk due to air pollution. Although the government of Pakistan established the Pakistan Clean Air Program, along with continuous monitoring stations to manage the quality of ambient air, air quality values have not yet been achieved. The present investigations were made in the city of Faisalabad in selected locations. Sampling of a 24 h average was done for selected sites. The air quality parameters such as NO2, SO2, COx, O2, noise level, and suspended particulate matter (SPM) were measured at two locations, i.e., Khurrianwala and Liaqatabad in the Faisalabad District. The measured values of air quality parameters were compared with national environmental quality standards (NEQS). Air pollutants such as SPM, SO2, and noise levels were found to be significantly higher than the 24-h standards of NEQS, which poses harmful effects on the quality of air and health, whereas the O2 concentration was found to be lower than the normal values, and NO2 and COx values were normal. The SO2, CO2, noise level, SPM, and O2 values ranged from 418–652 and 423–661 µg/m3, 3.03–3.44 and 3.08–3.51 mg/m3, 68–73 and 69–75 dB, 555–667 and 581–682 µg/m3, and 19.5–20 and 19.5–20.3 % for summer and winter season, respectively, as compared to standard values (150 µg/m3, 10 mg/m3, 65 dB, 550 µg/m3 and 21%). After the complete analysis of the selected locations, it was concluded that the ambient air quality of this area is severely degraded due to industrial as well as other commercial activities. These significant variations in air quality parameters suggest that there is a need to check the air quality regularly to take appropriate measures for reducing ambient air pollutants, especially in industrial areas as well as commercial areas.

“…The Scenario of Declared Policies (STEPS) forecasts a CO decrease of about 73% by 2030; however, this decrease would be insufficient to achieve global climate goals if the consumption of these fossil fuels remains high [2]. In an increasingly interconnected world that is dependent on mobility, the reduction in CO emissions produced by internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) represents an environmental challenge [3]. Although ICEVs are vital for progress and convenience, they are also an insidious source of pollution that endangers the quality of life and the well-being of the planet [4].…”

In a global society that is increasingly interrelated and focused on mobility, carbon monoxide emissions derived from internal combustion vehicles remain the most important factor that must be addressed to improve environmental quality. Certainly, air pollution generated by internal combustion engines threatens human health and the well-being of the planet. In this regard, this paper aims to address the urgent need to understand and face the CO emissions produced by internal combustion vehicles; therefore, this work proposes a mathematical model based on Auto-Regressive Exogenous that predicts the CO percentages produced by an internal combustion engine during its start-up. The main goal is to establish a strategy for diagnosing excessive CO emissions caused by changes in the engine temperature. The proposed CO emissions modeling is evaluated under a real dataset obtained from experiments, and the obtained results make the proposed method suitable for being implemented as a novel diagnosis tool in automotive maintenance programs.

In order to improve people's living experience, a method for evaluating the quality of urban human settlements based on back propagation neural network is proposed. Firstly, the initial evaluation index system is constructed, the initial evaluation index system is screened, and the final evaluation index system is constructed by using the remaining evaluation indexes. Then, the back propagation neural network is constructed to build an evaluation model, and the evaluation model is trained through the processes of network initialization, hidden layer output calculation and output layer output calculation. Finally, the improved genetic algorithm is used to optimize the back propagation neural network, improve the evaluation performance of the back propagation neural network, and realize the evaluation of human settlements quality. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the evaluation results of urban human settlements quality output by the trained back-propagation neural network model reaches 96.3%, which has a good effect.
