China 0000-0002-4923-0937 Journal Article 2021 05 04 Air pollution is a global issue and meteorological factors play an important role in its transportation<br />and regional concentration. The current research is aimed to analyse the variations in meteorological<br />parameters in a seasonal and geographical location context in the Jiangsu province of China, and its<br />correlation with the six criteria air pollutants, and air quality index (AQI). The present analysis will<br />supplement the limited understanding on the relation between the regions prevalent climatic conditions<br />and atmospheric pollution. The meteorological data analysis showed Suzhou city located in the<br />southern region of the Jiangsu province with high average temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall.<br />Maximum values of temperature, UV index, sunshine, relative humidity, and rainfall occurred during<br />summer, while air pressure in winter. High values of all meteorological parameters occurred in the<br />northern and southern region of the province. The data correlation study revealed AQI to have<br />negative correlation with most meteorological parameters, and positive correlation with air pressure in<br />all cities. https://jpoll.ut.ac.ir/article_85057_1a6bc0d72c65b309ae777fadb8c6f8bc.pdf
