Geo-Spatial Approach for an Ambient Air Quality Monitoring in Kanchipuram

Abstract

A pilot study was conducted in Kanchipuram municipality to understand the ambient air quality through the Geo-Spatial analysis. Nowadays Kanchipuram is experiencing an exponential vehicle and population growth, which is one of the major reason for air pollution. In order to monitor the ambient air quality near busy road junctions in Kanchipuram, four road junctions were selected, by using dust sampler machine along with a control station. By using spatial analysis technique, contour maps have been plotted for the obtained results.
