Air Quality Status During Diwali Festival of India: A Case Study

Air Quality Status During Diwali Festival of India: A Case Study

The PM 2.5 and PM 10 samples were collected during Diwali celebration from study area and characterized for ionic concentration of four anions (NO 3 − , NO 2 − , Cl − , SO 4 2− ) and five cations (K + , Mg 2+ , NH 4 + , Ca 2+ , Na + ). The results showed that the ionic concentrations were three time...

Zusammenfassung:The PM 2.5 and PM 10 samples were collected during Diwali celebration from study area and characterized for ionic concentration of four anions (NO 3 − , NO 2 − , Cl − , SO 4 2− ) and five cations (K + , Mg 2+ , NH 4 + , Ca 2+ , Na + ). The results showed that the ionic concentrations were three times compared to those on pre and post Diwali days. Predominant ions for PM 2.5 were K + 33.7 μg/m 3 , Mg + 31.6 μg/m 3 , SO 4 2− 22.1 μg/m 3 , NH 4 + 17.5 μg/m 3 and NO 3 − 18 μg/m 3 and for PM 10 the ionic concentrations were Mg + 29.6 μg/m 3 , K + 26 μg/m 3 , SO 4 2− 19.9 μg/m 3 , NH 4 + 16.8 μg/m 3 and NO 3 − 16 μg/m 3 . While concentration of SO 2 and NO 2 were 17.23, 70.33 μg/m 3 respectively.
