Abstract -Air pollution is one of the most serious public health and ecological concerns in most developing countries. The primary purpose of this study was to explore into the concentrations of air pollutants and forecast the air quality index in chosen regions in Harihara. The analysis focused on important pollutants such as suspended particulate matter (SPM), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Residential, commercial and traffic, sensitive, and industrial zones were chosen based on vehicle density. Is readings were acquired over a two-month period at five separate sites. In the months of April and May, the intensity of air quality in A K Colony is 42.025 and 42.896 g/m3. This number showed that the location's potential health impact is Minimal Impact. The intensity of air quality on Guttur road is 36.503 and 35.313 g/m3 in April and May, respectively. This number showed that the location's potential health impact is Minimal Impact. In April and May, the intensity of air quality in the Shivamogga circle is 60.438 and 61.625 g/m3. This result indicates adequate contamination, and the potential health consequence of this area is minor respiratory irritation for sensitive persons. Finally, in the months of April and May, the intensity of air quality in Harapanahalli (Mahatma Gandhi) Circle is 126.150 and 128.365 g/m3. This rating indicates that the area is considerably polluted. The potential health impact of this site includes breathing discomfort for persons with lungs, asthma, and heart problems. In April and May, there is a reasonable amount of air pollution.
1.1 Air Pollution Problem in India Polluted air has a huge influence on human vitality, agricultural practices, climate change, and as a result of the adverse consequences of air pollution, which has surpassed water pollution and nuclear contamination as the sixth biggest cause of death. Out of these, over 35000 fatalities occur in the national capital, Delhi, with the remaining 15000 deaths occurring in each industrial region, despite the fact that practically all of the attention is focused on the national capital, causing other cities and towns to suffer. Ghaziabad, Punjab, Patna, Raipur, Agra, and other cities are also suffering as a result of the widespread threat of pollution. Almost all cities are suffering from an increase in the concentration of suspended particle matter (SPM) in the air. Only a few cities in India can be emphasized where Air Quality Monitoring (AQM) has begun, resulting in improved air quality, but themajority of impacted places are small and medium-sized towns that suffer from a tremendous surge in pollution in a highly severe way. 1.2 Objectives of the Case Study
Key Words: SPM, NOx, SOx, PM2.5, PM 10, Air pollutants, AQI and AQM.
Examine the Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) Monitoring in sites spanning from Government Polytechnic College to Guttur Road during the months of Apriland May.
Examine the levels of gaseous pollutants like as SO2 and NO2 that were observed in place from Government polytechnic college to Guttur road in the months of April and May.
Comparison of SPM to National ambient air quality limits and gaseous contaminates such as SO2 and NO2.
To investigate the intensity of Air Index of few chosen site spanning from Government Polytechnic College to Guttur Road.
1. INTRODUCTION Air pollution is contamination of indoor or outdoor environment by any toxic chemical, physical or biological agent that modifies the natural indication of the atmosphere. Air pollution is consisting of toxic chemicals or particles in the air that harm the human health, and animals, and plants. It also damages buildings. Environmental pollution is common challenging in both developed and developing nations. Presents years’ large amount of toxic waste are produced into the atmosphere from the everproduction of goods increasing and burning of the fossil fuels to produce the power neededto support industrial domiciliary activities.
