ANALYSIS OF AIR QUALITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: A MODEL STUDY FROM TALANGANA STATE

Air quality has been impacted due to Urbanization and Industrialization air pollution has been increased in this connection this study area has been carried out on Air quality parameters such as suspended particulate matter, respirable particular matter ,oxides of sulphur, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of carbon at six stations around kothagudem which are Korukonda Ramavaram, B power house, Upparagudem, SCCL colony, Sarvaram village, Hemachandrapuram as there is a proposal for extension of Thermal power plant in that region. Air quality parameters are measured by gravimetric analysis by high volume air samplers to generate Baseline data for the proposed project. The baseline environment quality represents the background environmental scenario of various environmental components during the study period. The baseline quality monitored reflects the environment status from the existing activities and other local activities within 10 km radius of the study area. In this study we has been identified that the maximum values of air quality parameters are obtained in ‘B' Power House
