This study investigates the spatial and temporal variation in environmental parameters across three distinct urban settings; green, semi-green, and non-green over a six-day period, with data collected during both morning and evening intervals. The findings reveal that pollutant concentrations and microclimatic conditions vary significantly with land use type. PM10 and PM2.5 levels were highest in non-green and semi-green areas respectively, with green area consistently exhibiting the lowest concentrations, emphasizing the pollution-mitigating role of vegetation. Although Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) levels generally remained low, occasional peaks in green areas were attributed to localized emission sources such as nearby airports. Notably, Carbon Monoxide (CO) concentrations spiked in green zones during morning hours, further highlighting the influence of external sources like aircraft emissions. Humidity, wet bulb, and actual temperatures were consistently higher in green areas, suggesting enhanced moisture retention due to vegetation. Meanwhile, wind speeds were more variable in semi-green and non-green zones, possibly due to reduced vegetative obstruction. These findings underscore the critical role of urban greenery in regulating air quality and microclimatic conditions, supporting its integration into urban planning for enhanced environmental health and resilience.
