Study of Air quality Status of some cities of Rajasthan

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 1

Abstract

An attempt has been made in this investigation to ascertain air quality on major roads of Ajmer city in the form of Air Quality Index ( AQI). Monitoring stations were set up at fifteen strategic locations on all arterial roads of the study area after gaining knowledge about their traffic characteristics and analyzing the air samples from various monitoring locations the results are being compared with permissible standards as specified in Gazette of India Notification Extraordinary Part III, Section -4, Year 2009 and subsequently computed the air quality index. The results reveal that gaseous pollutants such as SO2 and NOx are within the permissible limits and particulate matter is the predominant cause of air pollution in the study area. More than half the total numbers of locations have heavy air pollution while another half suffer from air pollution.
