Study of Air Analysis to Access Impact of Pollution on Ambient

The present work pertains to analyzing ambient air quality of the study area amidst latitude 290 45' 30'' N and 290 47' 30'' N and longitude 790 44'E and 790 46'E. Depending upon the prevailing wind direction, atmospheric pollution in the area can be attributed to the emissions from the Dead Burnt Magnesite Plant. Besides, dust from mining areas also results in air pollution. The burning of raw magnesite in the shaft kilns has generated emissions which mainly consists of oxides of SO₂ and NOx with heavy load of Suspended particulate matter (SPM) of oxides of Mg, Si, Fe, Al, Ca. These emissions along with dust generated from mine area have affected vegetation around the plant area. While reviewing , it was observed that the mine area recorded a higher level of SPM concentration. However, no instance of respiratory disease due to dust has come to notice. Hill facing the factory on the north-eastern side has lost most of its vegetation. No visible foliar injury on plants was observed, which might have been because of the low concentration of SO₂ in the ambient air.
