Abstract

The district Balasore holds a key place in Odisha’s economic arena. Ambient air quality with respect to SPM, SO2 and NO2 are monitored in different areas of industrial zone of Balasore. The parameters were monitored during 2012 and 2015in three different seasons except rainy season and concentrations of these gaseous pollutants were analyzed. Maximum, minimum, values along with standard deviations and mean deviation were calculated for the monitoring parameters for each station and the results were discussed in the present study. In most of cases it was observed that the SPM concentration was higher than the permissible limits of AAQ standard and SO2 and NO2 concentrations were found to be an alarming state. In the post monsoon and summer season the concentrations were lower than winter season. The data indicates how concentrations were increasing day by day. The data revels that Balasore city is under the alarm state of air pollution. Mostly various industrial activities as well as vehicular pollution causes increasing air pollution in Balasore town. The present study will help for a better environmental management practice to control air pollution load in the city of Balasore.
