“…The level of air pollution has increased rapidly in India during the most recent period (Ahamad et al, 2022;Bhutiani et al, 2021;Ruhela et al, 2022a&b). New Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in the world and is located in northern India.…”

Declining air quality is highly ignored and very common form of degradation of the environment in nations that are both developed and developing. There are several contaminants in the air that have been identified in various studies on air pollution. The crucial parameters of all air pollutants are gaseous and particle pollution. The present study was undertaken to estimate the quality of ambient air in Chandrapur district, Maharashtra state of India. In this paper, an effort has been made to study the standing and trend of Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ozone (O3), Ammonia (NH3), Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter i.e.; PM10, PM2.5, toxic pollutants i.e.; lead, arsenic, nickel, benzo [a] pyarene and benzene and hydrocarbons. The results clearly show that, all parameters of ambient air quality monitoring values were some shown slightly below permissible limit. The ambient air quality monitoring data show that the Chandrapur district has substantial air pollution concerns in terms of SO2, NOx, PM, and other air pollutants. However, after comparing these values with NAAQS levels, the yearly averages of these air pollutants have been found to be below than the NAAQS levels. However, without effective mitigation measures, the concentrations of these pollutants will rise at quite alarming rate.

“…Though household air pollution from solid fuels has decreased in Southeast Asia, it still ranks third among risk factors in the Global Burden of Disease report. Combustion, construction materials, and bioaerosols are the main causes of indoor air pollution (Bhutiani et al, 2021;Ruhela et al, 2022b). Although radon, heavy metals, volatile organic matter, pesticides, asbestos and tobacco smoke are regarded as the major indoor contaminants in developed countries, biomass fuel combustion products are the most polluting in developing countries.…”

Air pollution is currently the greatest environmental threat to human health and one of the fastest growing issues on the global health agenda. The extremely fine particulate matter (aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 microns) is of greatest concern because the particles can penetrate deep into human lungs and enter the bloodstream. The elderly, asthmatics and immune-deficient population are the most vulnerable with the increasing levels of particulate matter. The present study was conducted to assess the concentration of size-segregated Indoor Particulate Matter (PM2.5, PM1.0, PM0.50, PM0.25) in Sunderbani, Rajouri, J&K. The average values of PM2.5, PM1.0, PM0.50, and PM0.25 were reported as 110.36µg/m3, 180.50µg/m3, 276.99µg/m3 and 445.93µg/m3 respectively in the sampled households of the study area. The average value of PM2.5 in the study area was found to be above the permissible limits of 60µg/m3 given by central pollution control board (CPCB). This was the first study on concentration of size-segregated particulate matter in the indoor environment of study area and the data obtained from the study will serve as baseline data for future studies in the area.

“…Respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM), a significant component of air pollution, has drawn much attention due to its severe impacts on human health [9]. These particles can come from several sources, such as industrial operations, construction activities, automobile emissions, and dust and pollen from natural processes [10][11][12]. The inclusion of heavy metals in RSPM is particularly concerning since it has complicated the health hazards of exposure to these airborne contaminants.…”

Air pollution is an immense problem due to its detrimental health effects on human populations. This study investigates the distribution of particle-bound heavy metals and associated health risks in three diverse areas (Durgapur as an industrial complex, Kolkata as an urban area, and Bolpur as a semi-urban region) in West Bengal, India. Twenty-one (84 samples) sampling sites were chosen, covering industrial, traffic, residential, and sensitive zones. The respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM) samples were collected using a portable Mini-Vol Tactical Air Sampler, and heavy metal concentrations (Cd, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, and As) were analyzed using ICP-OES. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks were assessed using exposure concentration (EC), hazard quotient (HQ), hazard index (HI), and additional lifetime cancer cases. The results highlight variations in heavy metal concentrations across the regions, with industrial areas exhibiting higher levels. Principal component analysis (PCA) unveiled distinct metal co-variation patterns, reflecting sources such as industrial emissions, traffic, and natural contributors. The sum of non-carcinogenic risks (HI) of all heavy metals exceeded the US EPA’s risk limit (HI<1) in both Kolkata and Durgapur, except for Bolpur. Similarly, the sum of cancer risk in three distinct areas exceeded the USEPA limits (1.00E-06). The Monte Carlo simulation revealed the 5th and 95th percentile range of cancer risk was 9.12E-06 to 1.12E-05 in Bolpur, 3.72E-05 to 4.49E-05 in Durgapur and 2.13E-05 to 2.57E-05 in Kolkata. Kolkata had the highest additional lifetime cancer cases compared to Bolpur and Durgapur. This study provides information on the complex connections between heavy metal pollution and possible health risks in industrial, urban, and semi-urban regions.
