Analysis of Sulphur Dioxide Concentration in Central University of Jammu (Rahya Suchani) Campus

Abstract

One major air pollutant that has a negative impact on both the environment and human health is sulfur dioxide (SO2). An analysis of the sulphur dioxide levels on the Central University of Jammu (Rahya Suchani) campus is presented in this abstract. The study's objectives are to measure the amount of SO2 pollution, locate probable sources, and analyze the effects of the pollution on the campus environment and the residents' health. In order to gather information on SO2 concentrations at different points on the university campus, the research makes use of quantitative measurements and environmental monitoring techniques. Data is gathered using specialized equipment that can measure SO2 in ambient air precisely. The study aims to investigate the temporal and spatial fluctuations in SO2 concentration, accounting for variables such as local pollution sources, automobile traffic, industrial processes, and weather patterns. The distribution patterns and locations of elevated SO2 pollution on campus are visualized by statistical analysis and spatial mapping approaches. The goal of this study's findings is to increase university stakeholders' knowledge of the level of SO2 pollution on the Central University of Jammu campus. Through the identification of pollutant sources and patterns, the study offers significant insights for the implementation of mitigation techniques and the promotion of a healthier campus environment.
