Abstract

The present study investigates the concentration of air pollutants (SPM, PM10, NO2, SO2) at Ajmeri Gate over Jaipur during the period of 2011-14. The daily and monthly means of SPM, PM10, NO2, SO2 concentrations have been determined from RSPCB air pollution datasets for the year 2011-2014. The PM10 levels at the AG sites are found to exceed the prescribed limits as given by National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The value of PM10 and SPM shows the high variability over both sites during the study period. The concentration of PM10 was found higher than the standard value (100 µg/m3) for about 60 % of observations. It was also observed the value of NO2 and SO2 were well below the standard limit.
