IDW map builder and statistics of air pollution in Brașov

Abstract

An inverse distance weight (IDW) interpolation algorithm is used to create pollution maps over the urban area of Brasov. The time period chosen for this study was the the first half of 2020, in order to analyze the lockdown period due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The study involves the average hourly, daily, and monthly concentration of several pollutants before, during, and after the lockdown period and, in the end, the conclusions were drawn based on this analysis.
