Ambient Air Quality Monitoring and Possible Health Effects Due to Air Pollution in Hosur Town, Tamilnadu, India
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The study is to focus on ambient quality of air in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India and its health effect on people. Hosur is a municipal town in Krishnagiri district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The model which was considered to be the concentration of chemicals in the air of the work environment and possible negative health effects to people. The microclimate is under control except during very hot climate in summer. The chemicals are under control in coir producing, automobile and food industries. The chemicals are often over the limit in brick, alloy casting, granite industries and in some of the premises of pharmaceutical industries. According to work results, PM10 concentration varies from 45–127 μg/m3 where PM2.5 concentration varies from 24-78 μg/m3 and these are the highly polluting particles in work environment.
