Abstract: 
The major cause of bronchitis and lung infections is air pollution. The PM2.5, PM10, CO2, CO, NOx, and HC pollutants are included in the air quality index, which measures the total amount of air pollution in the atmosphere. The AQI should be keeping pollution levels within acceptable ranges, and a higher reading meant more pollution. Twenty Indian cities rank among the top fifty most polluted cities in the world, with an AQI of greater than 266. The need to consider air quality index and put regulations in place to lower it is worrying. This study is presented the various air pollution contaminations and AQI at three different positions in Jaipur Rajasthan. It is found that the Police Commissionerate found more polluted than the Adarsh Nagar and Shashtri Nagar Jaipur.
