Evaluation of Air Quality Parameters from Selected Sampling Stations of Pune City, Maharashtra (India)

Abstract

Global warming is recognized by almost all atmospheric scientists as a significant environmental problem caused by an increase in levels of certain trace gases in the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution. While the effects of air pollution on materials, vegetation and animals can be measured, health effects on humans can only be estimated from epidemiological evidence. Air pollution is caused by a combination of gases and particulate pollutants such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen dioxide emitted from point sources such as factories and motor vehicles that burn fuel. Some gases emissions are visible to the eye and sometimes may even diffuse in to the atmosphere and become invisible. Here, for this study air pollution status from two places of Pune city was checked in the year 2021-22. Here, results show that the values of NOx and RSPM are beyond the permissible limit.
