Air Quality, Suspended Particulate Matter, SO2, NO2, NAAQS, AQI.
The main aim of this project is to check the ambient air quality in Davangere city and to determine AQI in the Resedential, Commercial, Industrial and Sensitive areas of the 13 selected locations of the Davangere city during summer season. It has been observed that concentration of suspended particulate matter is more in these stations like PB road Aruna theatre, Old bus stand, Gandhi circle, Pooja international hotel, UBDT college and Bapuji Hospital were exceeds the standard limit of National Ambient Air Quality standards(NAAQS). The concentration of Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide is within the NAAQS limit in all the stations. But Air Quality Index (AQI) values of the PB road old bus stand, Gandhi circle, Pooja international hotel, and Bapuji hospital stations were severely polluted and it is very unhealthy for the public and causes some various health problems.
