Dust Fall Rate and Its Composition in Chandrapur Industrial Cluster, Central India

Abstract

Dust is one of the significant air pollutants in ambient air of Chandrapur industrial cluster. A study was carried out to ascertain the dust fall rate in four sampling locations in the Chandrapur industrial cluster of Chandrapur district, central India. The sampling was carried out by dust fall jar method in winter season (2014)(2015) December-January in industrial cluster region was higher as compared with residential region. It has been also observed that upwind direction sampling locations had lesser dust fall rate as compared with downwind direction. The composition of dust fall from study area was dominated by water soluble components. Water insoluble components were comprised of inorganic insoluble and volatile matter. Total inorganic component per cent by weight was maximum in dust.

Karakteristik Logam-logam dalam Partikel Tak Terlarut Debu Jatuh di Serpong

“…Presipitasi debu umumnya berhubungan dengan sumber debu, metode pengumpulan, dan posisi sampling (Bao et al, 2012). Komponen partikulat tak larut dalam air pada debu jatuh biasanya lebih tinggi di kawasan industri dibandingkan kawasan rural, sebaliknya partikulat organik yang larut dalam air umumnya terdapat lebih tinggi di kawasan rural (Kamble, 2015). Jumlah partikulat umumnya meningkat saat musim kemarau.…”

“…Debu jatuh akan jatuh dari atmosfer melalui rute deposisi basah dan deposisi kering, dan tergantung pada faktor meterorologi (Mohamed, Mohamed, Rabeiy, & Ghandour, 2013). Karena ukurannya yang kecil, debu berdampak buruk pada kesehatan manusia dan berpotensi menyebabkan kerugian ekonomi di wilayah terdampak (Kamble, 2015). Hasil studi yang dilakukan di kota Qom, Iran menunjukkan adanya korelasi signifikan secara statistik antara debu jatuh dengan suhu namun berkorelasi terbalik dengan kelembaban, sementara itu tidak terdapat korelasi dengan kecepatan angin maupun tekanan (Biglari et al, 2017).…”

Characterization of the Chemical Composition of Atmospheryc Deposition

“…Dry deposition includes the following processes: atmospheric turbulent diffusion, adsorption, absorption, impaction and gravitational settling. The dry deposition process is affected by the type of underlying surface and surface conditions [2]. The dust may include a broad range of chemical species, organic and inorganic compounds.…”
