5 Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) 24

2.3 SAMPLING METHODOLOGY

AAQM METHODOLOGY :

Respirable Dust Sampler (RDS) was used for PM100 & PM10 sampling. Pre-weighted Glass Micro

fiber filter paper & NRD Cup were used to analyze PM100 & PM10 gravimetrically.

Fine Particulate Sampler (FPS) was used for PM2.5 sampling and the sample was collected on

PTFE filter paper. PM2.5 was analyzed gravimetrically.

Oxides of Sulphur in the air was absorbed in TCM using Gaseous Pollutant Sampler and analyzed

by “Improved West & Gaeke” method. Oxides of Nitrogen in the air was absorbed in mixed 0.1 (N) NaOH & Sodium arsenite solution

using Gaseous Pollutant Sampler and analyzed by “Modified Jacob & Hochheiser” method.

Graphical Representation of the Results:

From the above graphical presentation, it is clearly interpreted that all the values of PM10, PM2.5,

PM100, SOx and NOx were lower than the prescribed limits for location L1 i.e. Rohina Village.

Coming to the result, the average concentration of PM100 in this location was found 165 µg/m3 with

the range of 121 to 181 µg/m3. As per the standards for coal mines, GSR 742(E) dated 25th September

2000, the concentration of PM100 in this location was lower than the limits i.e. 200 µg/m3 for entire

the study period.

In case of PM10, the concentration was below the limits proposed in the standards GSR 826(E) dated

16th November 2009 of MoEF. The average concentration of PM10 was found 77 µg/m3 with the range

of 65 to 85 µg/m3.

For PM2.5, the arithmetic mean was found 46 µg/m3 & the range was 36 to 51 µg/m3. Concentration

of PM2.5 for entire the study period was lower than the limits as per GSR 826(E) dated 16th November

2009 of MoEF.

From all the above graphical representation it is clearly interpreted that all the values of SPM, PM10, PM2.5,

SO2 and NOX were lower than the prescribed limits for all the stated locations. As per the standards for coal

mines, GSR 742 (E) dated 25th September 2000, the concentration of SPM at all the location was found to

be lower than the prescribed limit i.e. 600 µg/m3 for the entire study period. In case of PM10 and PM2.5, the

concentration was within the limits proposed in the standards GSR 826(E) dated 16th November 2009 of

MoEF. The concentration of SO2 and NOx for all the locations is within the prescribed limits.

AAQM RESULTS FOR HEAVY METALS, BENZENE, CO, O3, NH3 AND BAP

In this study, we also monitored some other critical pollutants like Ozone, Ammonia, Lead & CO to assess the existing levels of air pollutants as well as the regional background concentration of the cluster area.

Beside these, some Heavy metal concentration in the ambient air were also monitored in and around the project area. The following tabulated pollutants were monitored once in a month.
