1. Study On Ambient Air Monitoring, Emission Inventory and Source Apportionment Methodology Frame Work By A. L. Aggarwal

2. Mission of the Projects Ambient air quality monitoring is being carried out at various cities & towns in the country under the National Air Monitoring Programme (NAMP). The air quality data generated over the years reveal that air quality is deteriorating in many parts of the country, particularly the urban centers. Based on the data, CPCB has identified more than 53 non-attainment cities and towns including 16 major cities recording significantly higher levels of SPM & RSPM. In these cities the problem becomes complex due to multiplicity and complexity of air polluting sources (eg. Industries, automobiles, generator sets, fuel burning, construction activities, etc.).

The recent “ Auto Fuel Policy “ document submitted to Govt. of India by Dr. Mashelkar Committee has identified the knowledge gap in the area of air pollutant’s apportionment. With this view, Oil Companies in India in association with leading scientific & research organizations and automobile industry initiated a scientific solutions to ensure better environment in six select cities of India, which can be replicated to entire country thereafter.
