| Description |
Air quality in cities is the result of a complex interaction between
natural and anthropogenic environmental conditions. Delhi, as
well as many other cities in India, is facing problems concerning
air pollution. The increase in industrialisation and the vehicle fleet,
poor control on emissions and little use of catalytic converters.
produce a great amount of particulate and toxic gases. Data on
air pollutants and meteorological variables were collected in the
metropolitan cities Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai for the
period July-August, 2001. Data were treated with the bivariate
regression model to explore the influence of the meteorological
variables on air pollutant concentrations, and were also used to
compute an Air Quality Index, using the weighted arithmetic mean
method. The proposed index seems to be applicable in the
assessment of overall air quality with respect to air pollutants.
