Abstract
Air pollution has emerged as one of the challenging problems before mankind in the past few decades. The ambient air quality survey was carried out at industrial areas with respect to SPM, SO₂ and NOx. The pollutant concentrations were used to calculate the Air Quality Index. It is observed that most of the predicted pollutants are violating the permissible values. A quantitative analysis on the mean concentration of SO₂, NOX, and SPM in four different industrial zones at Shahdol was compared with that of non-exposed to control regions. These attributes were analyzed on the morbidity pattern of the exposed population for eleven various diseases and its hazardous effects are reported in the present study. Source studies of SPM may be carried out to ascertain the sources and put up relevant control measures in place.
