A review on Assessment of Air Pollution due to Vehicular Emission in Traffic Area

Abstract

In Indian metropolitan cities, the extensive growth of the motor vehicles has resulted in the deterioration ofenvironmental quality and human health. The concentrations of pollutants at major traffic areas are exceeding thepermissible limits. Public are facing severe respiratory diseases and other deadly cardio-vascular diseases In India.Immediate needs for vehicular air pollution monitoring and control strategies for urban cities are necessary.Vehicular emission is the main source of deteriorating the ambient air quality of major Indian cities due to rapidurbanization. Total vehicular population is increased to 15 Lacks as per recorded data of Regional TransportOrganization (RTO) till 2014-2015. This study is focused on the assessment of major air pollution parametersresponsible for the air pollution due to vehicular emission. The major air pollutants responsible for air pollution dueto vehicular emissions are PM10, PM2.5, Sox, Nox, HC, CO2 and CO and Other meterological parameters like Ambienttemperature, Humidity, Wind direction and Wind Speed. Sampling and analysis of parameters is carried outaccording to National Ambient Air Quality Standards Guidelines (NAAQS) (2009) and IS 5128.
