Abstract

Air contamination has been recognized as a difficult issue all through the world which makes real misfortune living creatures, crops, plant development and yield. Earlier, the rectrictions of air pollution to metropolitan and industrial area. Yet, it has progressed toward becoming a wide problem due to development of industries, transportation, population increase and deforestation in commissionary and district level city. Air contamination is a very broad area for researchers, so it is not possible to study all parameters in a research work. The present investigation manages the evaluation of surrounding air quality as for SO2, NO2 and PM10 have been selected for proposed research. Saharanpur a commissionary/district level city selected and it may be an emerging area for research work on air pollution. There is no study on SO2, NO2 and PM10 levels till now. The studies in growing city like Saharanpur will give us a proper idea regarding the pattern of the increase in the air contamination in other similar cities. The experimental results obtained from the different air quality categories according to national air quality gauges (NAAQS) at different site. The national method of sampling and analysis i.e.; BIS, CPCB Delhi was used for the proposed study. The SO2, NO2 and PM10 levels were observed during July 2015 to June 2016 on fortnightly basis at three sites using active sampling.
