Abstract:
Air quality index is used to assess the air quality of Jalna city. Concentrations of air pollutants PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx monitored at residential and industrial sites for an year and used to measure AQI. Overall air quality at both sites studied and compared using monthly and annual AQI values. Air quality at residential site was poorer than industrial site. Government regulations, proper pollutants control in industries, correct waste disposal and awareness helps in minimizing levels of pollutants. As per NAAQS standard annual mean concentrations of SO2 and NOx at both sites found within permissible limits, while at both sites annual mean concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 deviated from standards. Annual mean AQI value at residential site was 229.75 and at industrial site it was 211.75, both sites AQI falls under poor AQI category as per rating scale. Higher AQI values are due to PM2.5 which may affect older adults and children particularly heart and lung disease on prolong exposure and at higher risk.
