Abstract
Air pollution is one of the biggest problems worldwide due to the increase of burning of fossil fuels by industries around the world. In the present work, the air quality study will be carried out with the grey clustering method, since the data obtained presents a certain level of uncertainty. In order to obtain a correct analysis of air quality, the comparison was made in two different years with the same monitoring stations. The air quality assessment was carried out in three monitoring stations located in three different districts of the province of La Oroya (La Oroya Antigua, minor town of Huari and Santa Rosa de Sacco), in which, they installed sampling equipment for the evaluation on the basis of 10 particulate matter (PM10) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). In each point of study a positive result was obtained, where an improvement in air quality can be seen, this it is due to the reduction of mining activity in the study area. These results show the improvement over the years. Finally, this method can also be used by any organization in the nation for water or air quality studies.
