Abstract:

In this study an attempt has been made to express the ambient air quality of Indore city in the form of air quality index (AQI). The sampling of 24 hr was carried out to evaluate Respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Ammonia (NH3), Ozone (O3) and Lead (Pb), in winter and summer season of the year 2015 at four different locations in Indore city (Industrial at Pologround, commercial at Kothari market, residential at subhash nagar and economical sensitive zone at S.G.S.I.T.S. campus Indore). The AQI were calculated using using IND-AQI (Indian air quality index) procedure. (Mamta et al.,2010). The results shows that RSPM concentrations exceed the permissible limits and SO2, NO2, NH3 and Pb levels were found under the prescribed limits of Indian NAAQS 2009 for both the season at all the selected sites of city. The concentrations of O3 were found to be higher than the standard limits in summer season as per Indian NAAQS 2009. (Chauhan et al.,2010).
