Functional analysis of variance of air pollution caused by fine particles

Environmental pollution is harmful to human health, as it can lead to chronic respiratory diseases. In particular, fine particles suspended in the air (PM2.5) count among the most aggressive air pollutants. PM2.5 levels vary depending on local conditions. The goal of this work was to compare year...
