Abstract
20Jan 2018 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT DUE TO TOTAL SUSPENDED PARTICULATE MATTER (TSPM): A CASE STUDY WTE PLANT KATHONDA. Sajal Jain and Atul Sharma. ME Environmental Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Jabalpur Engineering College, Jabalpur, MP, India. Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Jabalpur Engineering College, Jabalpur, MP, India.
Highlights
Air monitoring has been done in all directions of selected site within 2 km radial distance from WTE plant
The study shows that the concentration of Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) and particulate matter (PM) is very high and exceeds the national limit value .The study evaluate the extent of environmental health risk from WTE plant along with waste dump site .In this site a Bio medical waste incinerator is in working stage
According to the particle size, the atmosphere particulate can be divided into Dust Fall, TSP, Inhalable Particulate Matter (PM10, with aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 μm), Coarse Particulate (PM2.5 - 10, with aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 - 10 μm), and Fine Particulate (PM2.5, with aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 μm)[Yao Zhao et al 2012]
Summary
Air monitoring has been done in all directions of selected site within 2 km radial distance from WTE plant. This area has WTE plant along with landfill site and biomedical waste incinerator .Two major colleges and residential habitants in its nearby premises are comes under the affected areas.
