Abstract :
Comparative study of ambient air quality of
Jalna city was carried using air quality index (AQI). Air
pollutants concentration-SO2, NOx, RSPM and NRSPM
at residential and industrial sites for years 2016 and
2017 were compared. The monthly, seasonal and annual
AQI values determined at both residential and
industrial sites for these years. Results suggest better air
quality at residential site for the year 2017 than 2016.
While at industrial site better air quality was observed
for the year 2016 than 2017. Government regulations,
effective treatments in industries, appropriate waste
disposal helped in minimization of pollution levels. For
both the years and at both sites annual mean
concentrations of SO2 and NOx were found within the
permissible limits of Indian National Ambient Air
Quality standards (NAAQS), although for both the
years and at both the sites RSPM and NRSPM
concentrations were observed above the norms. The
annual AQI value at residential site was higher 128 for
2016 compared to 120 for 2017. While at industrial site
AQI value 88 was found lower for 2016 compared to
higher 126 for the year 2017.
