Investigation of Ambient Air and its Quality around University Campus and National Highway (NH-92) at Etawah Road, Gwalior, India

A continuous study of ambient air quality is necessary for determining a regional environmental condition, mainly air pollutants. Pollutant concentrations, sources and weather conditions all have an impact on the quality of the air we breathe. The current study attempted to investigate the air quality in Gwalior city by using two separate locations. In urban areas, the contribution from automobile sources has the most significant impact on air quality. High levels of air pollution have a variety of harmful health consequences. The air quality inside/outside of the university campus is evaluated in this study. Air pollution has serious health consequences for humans, animals and plants. It is difficult to predict the health effects of low-level exposure. The World Health Organization has specified the various criteria gases that affect human health and crops. Different pollutants, mainly Particulate Matters, i.e. PM10, PM2.5, SOx, NOx and SPM, are investigated and their concentration is also estimated for comparative study.
