Composite Air Quality Index Assessment for Bilaspur District (Chhattisgarh) | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

ABSTRACT

The current study's objective is to evaluate the district of Bilaspur's ambient air quality. The data collected has been calculated to determine the Air Quality Index (AQI) on a five-point scale for quantifying air pollution. This index is based on measuring parameters like sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), respirable suspended particulate matter (PM10), and total suspended particulate matter (TSPM) at designated locations such as residential areas, marketable areas, and business crossings. The status of the air quality has been estimated at each point, as shown by the air quality scale. According to the study, marketable regions and commercial crossings have the highest air quality indicator values, while domestic areas have the lowest levels.
