“…Particulate matter with a size of greater than 10 μm and the ability to settle from the air is the main component of dust fall (Ahmad, 1975;Cadle, 1975;Espinosa et al, 2001;Sami et al, 2006). Dust fall makes a significant contribution when ascertaining pollution in urban areas (Harrison et al, 1997;Xia et al, 2007;Balakrishna et al, 2010), industrial activities and at construction sites (Fuglsang, 2002;Pandey et al, 2008) as well as from vehicle exhaust emissions and soil dust (Arsene et al, 2007). In order to understand regional dust pollution, the dust fall rate and its chemical constituents must first be determined (Harrison, 1986;Pandey et al, 2008).…”

This study aimed to determine the amount and composition of dust fall in semi-urban areas in Selangor, Malaysia from mid-July to mid-October 2010. The dust fall samples (a combination of dry and wet deposition) through rainwater were collected using polyethylene bottles on a monthly basis so as to determine the concentration of total solids, soluble and insoluble solids from eight monitoring stations. Zn was recorded as the dominant heavy metal in rainwater followed by Fe, Al, Pb, Cd and Cr. This study suggests that sea salts, earth crust and anthropogenic activities such as motor vehicles were the main sources of dust fall in the study areas.

“…Three different environments namely, rural (Kosmarra, District Dhamtari), urban (Raipur City, District Raipur) and industrial (Bhilai City, District Durg) have been chosen within an area of 400 km 2 in central India for air sampling program. Three major coal-fired industries (7 Mt steel production, cement manufacturing and 500 MW power generation) are located in the industrial site, which, collectively, emit ~25 tonnes of atmospheric particulate matter every year (Matawle et al, 2014;Guttikunda et al, 2015;Dewangan et al, 2016, Dubey andPervez, 2008;Balakrishna and Pervez, 2009;Balakrishna et al, 2010). Rural site is about 100 km away from both urban and industrial site and free from any major coal-fired industries.…”

“…Similar concentration levels of sulphur in urban and industrial sites might be due to close proximity of both sites (~45 km distance between urban and industrial sites) and emissions from major coal-fired industries are affecting both sites in a uniform scale. As far as source marker species are concern, Ni, V, Cu and Mo are classified as vehicular components; Zn, Pb are known for road dust sources; Ca, Mg, Na and Al represent natural dust components; As, S, and Se indicate coal power plant emission components and Cd, Zn, Cr, Fe and As address other industrial emissions (Cao et al, 2005;Duan et al, 2006;Balakrishna and Pervez, 2009;Balakrishna et al, 2010;Chakraborty and Gupta, 2010;Matawle et al, 2014Matawle et al, , 2015Agarwal et al, 2017;Liang et al, 2018). Day/night variability in PM 2.5 elemental concentrations of urban site (Raipur) has also been investigated.…”

As far as day/night variability in ions at urban site is concern, ions have shown relatively higher association with PM 2.5 by a factor of 1.12, compared to PM 2.5 measured in night time.…”

Atmospheric PM2.5 pollution, has shown potential impact on the human health in general, thus it requires to look into the chemical characteristics of PM2.5 masses for designing effective policies to reduce health risks amongst public under exposure. The study carried out, here, has presented the ambient PM2.5 concentrations, concentrations of chemical components and associated health risks over rural and urban environments in the area of mineral based coal-fired industrial areas of central India for a period of one year (2015–16). Overall 260 PM2.5 samples, collected from rural, urban and industrial sites, were analyzed for various elements Al, As, Ca, Hg, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, K, Cd, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Sb, Na, Mg, K, V and Zn, ions such as Na+, Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, F–, Cl–, NH4+, NO3–, SO42– and carbonaceous matter. The annual average PM2.5 mass concentrations were found to be ~2 to ~6 folds higher than the annual National Ambient Air Quality standard (40 µg m–3). Further this study also evaluates, carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks associated with ambient PM2.5 exposures (via ingestion, inhalation and dermal). The elemental species that have shown non-carcinogenic risks for both children and adults of all three sites are: Co, Mn, Ni (rural), As, Cd, Cr, Mn, Ni, V (urban and industrial sites). Similarly, the excess carcinogenic risks, in total, from Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb was found to be higher than acceptable limits (10–6 to 10–4).

“…Massey et al[27] have reported the measurements of indoor PM2.5 in selected households in Agra and recorded maximum average concentration of PM2.5 in rural homes (173.03 µg m -3 ), compared to road side homes (137.93 µg m -3 ) and urban homes (135.55 µg m -3 ) with significant contribution from outdoor infiltration. Balakrishna et al[48] investigated the indoor and outdoor sources of arsenic in urban area of central India. Road traffic has shown higher contribution in indoor and automobile exhaust had shown higher contribution of arsenic.…”

One out of every three Indians use biomass fuels such as wood, animal dung and coal cake, crop residues as their primary domestic energy source. About 23 and 61 % of urban and rural Indian households, respectively, rely on traditional stoves (Chullah) for cooking practices. Household air pollution contains solid fuel burning emissions prominently, is reported to claim 4.3 million premature deaths yearly in developing countries. But most of the review studies to address air pollution scenario in India are focused on outdoor environments; major reason to review the current knowledge on emission estimates from household biomass burning and associated impacts on indoor air and human health. This review intends to critically discuss the variability associated with emission estimates and impacts of household air quality in different parts of India as presented in several research works, published during 2001-2015. About 27 and 11 % increase in PM2.5 and PM10, respectively has been observed in Indian house-indoors during the assessment period. Emission factors, emission budgets of aerosol fractions, carbonaceous matter and other chemical components for household biofuel burning emissions were also summarized for the period of 2001-2015. Health effects studies due to household air pollution in India were also summarized and discussed. Improvement in ventilation system and modification in the pattern of fuels may contribute to reduce the effect of the pollution on national health. As there are no specific regulations or acts for controlling of household air pollution in India, urgent need is felt for implementing the strategies to create public awareness.
