Urban Air Quality Dataset for Jaipur (2019–2025): PM2.5, PM10, and Meteorological Variables from Three CPCB Monitoring Stations

This dataset accompanies the manuscript, "A Small-Data Machine Learning Framework for Forecasting Urban Air Pollution Spikes in Jaipur," submitted to Applied Artificial Intelligence (Taylor & Francis). The dataset contains hourly and 8-hour averaged PM2.5 and PM10 measurements collected from three Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) air quality monitoring stations in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India: Police Lines, Shastri Nagar, and Adarsh Nagar. The data span January 2019 through March 2025. Meteorological variables, including temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and precipitation, were obtained from the NASA POWER Project at hourly resolution and were used as auxiliary features for air pollution forecasting.
