FOREWORD

Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) implements the National Ambient Air
Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP) through a network comprising 804
ambient air quality monitoring stations covering 344 cities/towns in 28
states and 6 union territories of the country as per the mandate under the
Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 to collect, compile and
disseminate information on air quality.

Under the programme, ambient air quality is monitored in collaboration with

State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs), Pollution Control Committees
(PCCs), and National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI).
The data, thus generated, is transmitted to CPCB for scrutiny, analysis,
compilation and its publication. The present report contains ambient air
quality data for the calendar year 2019 and its analysis has been carried out
in terms of exceedance in comparison to National Ambient Air Quality
Standards. The concentration values for SO2, NO2, PM10 & PM2.5 is also
analysed and presented separately for zones, coastal towns, industrial cities,
million plus cities, non-attainment cities, ecologically sensitive areas etc.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Importance of good air quality Air pollution has been defined as the
presence in the atmosphere of any air
Air quality is a measure of the suitability of air for pollutant. Air pollutant is any solid liquid or
breathing by people, plants and animals. On gaseous substance present in the
average, a person inhales about 14,000 litres of air atmosphere in such concentration as may
every day. Therefore, poor air quality may affect the be or tend to be injurious to human beings or
quality of life now and for future generations by other living creatures or plants or property or
affecting the health, the environment, the economy environment.
and the city’s livability. The highest air pollution exposure
occurs in the indoor environment. Toxicity
Good outdoor air quality is fundamental to our well- can be defined as the relative ability of a
being. A healthy environment is therefore, an substance to cause adverse effects in living
essential aspect of the right to life, not only for organism. The concentration of pollutants in
human beings but also for other animals on the the air, water & soil that results from these
planet. Violation, therefore, of the right to healthy emissions influences the magnitude of
environment is potentially a violation of the basic human exposures through organs such as
right to life. the nose, mouth & skin.
CPCB initiated the National Ambient
Air Quality Monitoring Programme in 1984
and notified the revised National Ambient Air

dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen,
0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small
amounts of other gases. (Figure 1.1). Rapid urbanization and industrialization has added other
elements/compounds to the pure air and thus caused the increase in pollution. In order to prevent,
control and abate air pollution, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act was enacted in 1981.
According to Section 2(b) of Air (Prevention and control of pollution) Act, 1981 ‘air pollution’ has been
defined as ‘the presence in the atmosphere of any air pollutant.’ As per Section 2(a) of Air (Prevention
and control of pollution) Act, 1981 ‘air pollutant’ has been defined as ‘any solid, liquid or gaseous
substance [(including noise)] present in the atmosphere in such concentration as may be or tend to be
injurious to human beings or other living creatures or plants or property or environment’. Therefore,
ambient air quality standard is developed as a policy guideline that regulates the effect of human
activity upon the environment so that pollutant emission into the air can be regulated. Standards may
specify a desired state or limit alterations.

1.3 Air Pollution and Health

Air pollution is a major environmental health problem affecting the developing and the developed
countries alike. The effects of air pollution on health are very complex as there are many
different sources and their individual effects are synergistic and additive. It is not only the ambient air
quality in the cities but also the indoor air quality in the rural and the urban areas that are causing
concern. In fact, in the developing world the highest air pollution exposures occur in the indoor
environment. Air pollutants that are inhaled have serious impact on human health affecting the lungs
and the respiratory system; they are also taken up by the blood and circulated in the body. These
pollutants are also deposited on soil, plants, and in the water, further contributing to human exposure.
The sources and effects of some air pollutants is given in Annexure 1. Toxicity can be defined as the
relative ability of a substance to cause adverse effects in living organisms. This relative ability is
dependent upon several conditions.
 Route of entry
 Quantity or the dose of the substance determines whether the effects of the chemical are toxic,
nontoxic or beneficial.
 Duration and frequency of exposure
 Concentrations that are actually measured in the environment
 Variations between different species (interspecies) and variations among members of the same
species (intra species)

To understand and control the effect of pollutants effectively, it is necessary to understand the pathway
from source to effect as measurement and control can occur at any of the places along the pathway.
However, effective control measurement can be taken only at the source.

Figure 1.2: Flow of atmospheric pollutants

The environmental exposure pathway provides an analytical framework to describe, in broad terms, the
connections between pollutant sources and human health outcomes. This framework begins with the
emission source, in this case a well pad and associated infrastructure, which emit a variety of
contaminants into the air, water, and soil. The concentrations of pollutants in the air, water, and soil that
result from these emissions influence the magnitude of human exposures through organs such as the
nose, mouth, and skin. Once the level of exposure is identified, it is then possible to estimate the dose,
or how much of the pollutant is ingested in a given period of time. The dose, in turn, determines the
health outcome.

1.4 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)

The objectives of air quality standards are:

 To indicate the levels of air quality necessary with an adequate margin of safety to protect the
public health, vegetation and property;
 To assist in establishing priorities for abatement and control of pollutant level;
 To provide uniform yardstick for assessing air quality at national level;
 To indicate the need and extent of monitoring programme.

In order to combat air pollution, it is required to identify the pollutants, its source of emission and
investigate the effects of living and the environment. The Central Pollution Control Board has notified
the revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards Gazette of India, Extra-ordinary Part-II Section 3,
sub section (ii), dated Nov 18, 2009. The revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards is depicted in
Annexure 2.

1.5 National Air Quality Monitoring Programme (N.A.M.P.)

1.5.1 Importance of air quality monitoring

Air pollutant, both indoor and outdoor, cause significant harm to health. Therefore, monitoring of
pollutants is important for effective air quality management. The Government monitors air quality in
different areas to find out how much pollution is in the air and make sure pollutant levels are meeting
health - based air quality standards. Knowing how much pollution is in the air in a certain area helps air
quality agencies know when and how to take action to protect public health. The Government uses its
air monitoring data to:

 Determine if air quality is meeting national standards

 Determine the highest pollutant concentrations
 Understand how pollutants behave and their relationship with the weather.
 validate pollution modelling, used to test 'what if' scenarios.
 Forecast air quality
 Evaluate the effectiveness of air pollution control programs
 Evaluate the effects of air pollution on public health
 Track the progress of plans for meeting air quality standard
 Determine air quality trends
 Develop responsible and cost-effective pollution control strategies and policy decisions

1.5.2 Present status of NAMP

Central Pollution Control Board initiated National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (NAAQM) programme
in the year 1984 with 7 stations at Agra and Anpara. Subsequently the programme was renamed as
National Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP). Steadily the air quality monitoring network got
strengthened, in year 2019 the number of stations was raised to 804 covering 344
cities/towns/villages in 28 states and 6 Union Territories as on 31st December 2019 (Annexure).
The growth in number of stations under operation is given in Figure 1.3. Figure 1.4 shows the distribution
of cities with ambient air quality monitoring stations under NAMP.

1.5.3 Objectives of NAMP

The objectives of the NAMP are as follows:

 To determine status and trends of ambient air quality;
 To ascertain whether the prescribed ambient air quality standards are violated;
 To Identify Non-Attainment Cities;
 To obtain the knowledge and understanding necessary for developing preventive and corrective
measures;
 To understand the natural cleansing process undergoing in the environment through pollution
dilution, dispersion, wind based movement, dry deposition, precipitation and chemical
transformation of pollutants generated.

1.5.4 Parameters monitored under NAMP

To check air quality of the country, Central Pollution Control Board initiated National Air Quality
Monitoring Programme (NAMP) under which three air pollutants viz., Sulphur Dioxide (SO 2), Nitrogen
Dioxide (NO2) and Particulate Matter size equal to or less than 10 micron (PM10), have been monitored
regularly at all the locations. Other parameters like PM2.5 (Particulate Matter having an aerodynamic
diameter less than or equal to 2.5 µm), Carbon monoxide (CO), Ammonia (NH 3), Lead (Pb), Ozone
(O3), Benzene (C6H6), Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), Arsenic (As) and Nickel (Ni) are being monitored at
selected locations and are slowly being added to the monitoring network under NAMP.

The monitoring of meteorological parameters such as wind speed and direction, relative humidity and
temperature were also integrated with the monitoring of air quality and are monitored at selected
locations. The monitoring of regular parameters is carried out for 24 hours (4-hourly sampling for
gaseous pollutants and 8-hourly sampling for particulate matter) with a frequency of twice a week, to
have 104 observations in a year.

The monitoring under the NAMP is being carried out with the help of State Pollution Control Boards
(SPCB), Pollution Control Committees (PCC), National Environmental Engineering Research Institute
(NEERI), Nagpur and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) Head Office and its Regional
Directorates. CPCB co-ordinates with these agencies to ensure uniformity, consistency of air quality
data and provides technical and financial support to them for operating the monitoring station.

1.5.5 Data Analysis, Processing and Limitations

The samples collected at the monitoring stations, following the guidelines of NAMP, are then analyzed
in the laboratories of the State Boards and different agencies as per the methods of measurement given
in the NAAQS. The data generated are entered into an online system of CPCB known as Environment
Air Quality Data Entry System (EAQDES) by respective SPCBs and PCCs. The data is then scrutinized
for outliers and gaps in input of data by CPCB. In case of any gaps, the matter is discussed with the
respective agencies and later the data is checked, scrutinized, compiled, processed and analyzed
statistically to get the information on the annual mean, standard deviation etc. of the pollutants and
payment is also made to the respective agencies. Figure 1.5 shows the data flow in NAMP.

Payment Compilation & Analysis

As NAMP is being operated through various monitoring agencies, a large number of personnel and
equipments are involved in the sampling, chemical analyses, data reporting etc. This increases the
probability of personal biases reflecting in the data. Hence, it is pertinent to mention that this document
be referred keeping in view the above facts and the data be considered more as indicative rather than
absolute. The data presented in this report is average over the entire year as available.

1.5.6 Quality Assurance/Quality Control of Data and Management

The policy decisions in the country related to air pollution are being taken based on the results obtained
by CPCB through its air quality monitoring programme. It is therefore, of utmost important to keep a
quality check on the data generated so that the data is of acceptable quality. In order to ensure the
quality of data, CPCB is carrying out various exercises as follows:

Evaluation of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations: Officials from CPCB Regional Directorates
regularly visit monitoring stations and monitoring laboratories to ensure proper methodology for
sampling and analysis. The findings of the inspection report are communicated to respective monitoring
agencies for implementation

Review Meetings: CPCB conducts review meetings with monitoring agencies to discuss various
problems related to monitoring activities and sort out the remedial measures

Training Program on Ambient Air Quality Monitoring and data entry: CPCB carries out training
program on ambient air quality monitoring and data entry in the Environmental Air Quality Data Entry
System (EAQDES) with an objective to improve quality of data generated under National Air Quality
Monitoring Programme (NAMP).

Figure 2.5. National average of SO2 concentration has SO2, NO2 & PM10 indicated that SO2
decreased over the years indicating that there has been concentration has decreased over the
a decline in SO2 levels (Figure 2.5a). Decreasing trend
may be due to various interventions that have taken years; NO2 concentration remained
place in recent years such as reduction in sulphur in stable over the years with a slight
diesel, use of cleaner fuel such as CNG in metro cities, decrease in last few years despite increase
change in domestic fuel from coal to LPG etc. National in sources like vehicles. PM10
average of NO2 concentration has remained stable over concentration revealed a fluctuating trend
the years with a slight decrease in last three years
despite increase in sources like vehicles (Figure 2.5b). and a stable trend was observed in PM2.5.
The reason for this may be various intervention measures that have taken place such as improvement in
vehicle technology and other vehicular pollution control measures like alternate fuel etc. National average
of PM10 concentration shows fluctuating trend exceeding the NAAQS (Figure 2.5c). The reasons being
emission from gensets, small scale industries, biomass incineration, suspension of traffic dust, natural dust,
commercial and domestic use of fuel and vehicular emission etc. PM2.5 revealed a stable trend with decline
in 2019 (Figure 2.5d).

3.1 Locations and cities exceeding the NAAQS

Table 3.1 shows the number of locations and cities exceeding the NAAQS with respect to SO 2 during
2019. During 2019 in residential / Industrial / Rural area no location exceeded NAAQS of 50 µg/m3 and 3
locations in ecologically sensitive area exceeded NAAQS of 20 µg/m3. Taking cities into consideration, no
city exceeded the NAAQS with respect to SO2 and 1 city in ecologically sensitive area exceeded NAAQS
of 20 µg/m3.

The Central Zone comprises of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Being a plateau region, it is rich in
minerals and is also home to many famous wildlife sanctuaries, national parks and bio-reserve. This area
experience moderate temperatures during both summer and winter months. The monsoons fall between
July and September which brings heavy downpour.

The East Zone is comprised of states of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa,
and West Bengal. The bulk of the region lies on the east coast of India by the Bay of Bengal, and on
the Indo-Gangetic plain. Jharkhand, on the Chhota Nagpur plateau, is a hilly and a heavily forested state
rich in mineral wealth. Odisha is also a mineral rich state of India. The region lies in the humid-subtropical
zone, and experiences hot summers from March to June, the monsoon from July to October and mild
winters from November to February. The interior states have a drier climate and slightly more extreme
climate, especially during the winters and summers, but the whole region receives heavy, sustained
rainfall during the monsoon months. Snowfall occurs in the extreme northern regions of West Bengal.

North zone comprises of Chandigarh, Delhi, Haryana. Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh,
Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The predominant geographical features of North India are the
Indo-Gangetic plain, the Himalayas and the Thar Desert. North India lies mainly in the North Temperate

snowfall occurs in Himachal Pradesh, J&K and Uttarakhand and much of North India is notorious for
heavy fog during winters. The region receives rain and snow precipitation through two primary weather
patterns, the Indian Monsoon and the Western Disturbances.

North East Zone houses the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya,
Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. The region shares more than 4,500 kilometres of international
border with Tibet in the north, Myanmar in the east, Bangladesh in the southwest and Bhutan to the
northwest. The Northeast region can be physiographically categorised into the Eastern Himalaya,
the Patkai and the Brahmaputra and the Barak valley plains. It has a predominantly humid sub-tropical
climate with hot, humid summers, severe monsoons, and mild winters. Along with the west coast of India,
this region has some of the Indian sub-continent's last remaining rain forests.

South Zone contains Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Lakshwadeep, Puducherry, Tamilnadu and
Telangana occupy the South Zone on India. South India is a peninsula in the shape of an inverted
triangle bound by the Arabian Sea on the west, by the Bay of Bengal on the east
and Vindhya and Satpura ranges on the north. The Western Ghats run parallel along the western coast.
The region has a tropical climate and depends on monsoons for rainfall.

West Zone houses the states and UTs of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Goa, Gujarat
Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Goa and many places in Maharashtra are located in the western coasts.
The region consists of the predominantly arid to semi-arid region of Saurashtra and Kutch in the North.
The climate varies between tropical wet, tropical wet and dry, and semi arid. The vegetation varies from
tropical rainforests along the Konkan coast to thorny bushes and shrubs in northern Gujarat. The rivers of
this region are Mahi, Narmada, Tapi, Godavari, Zuari, Mandovi, Krishna, Ghaggar, Chambal and many
other smaller tributaries of other rivers.

The graphs below compares the ambient air quality with respect to SO 2 in different zones of the county.
SO2 in all the cities of the zones are within the National Standard except for Dehradun. It can be seen
that the central, south and north-east zones have lower concentration compared to east, north and west
zones (Figure 3.1 to Figure 3.6).

In this chapter, a detailed comparison of locations and cities with respect to NO2 levels in the country has
been depicted.

4.1 Locations and cities exceeding the NAAQS

Table 4.1 shows the number of locations and cities exceeding the NAAQS with respect to NO2 during
2019. During 2019 in residential / Industrial / Rural area 91 locations exceed NAAQS of 40 µg/m3 and 5
locations exceed NAAQS of 30 µg/m3. Taking cities into consideration, in residential / Industrial / Rural
area 28 cities exceed NAAQS of 40 µg/m3 and 2 cities exceeded the NAAQS of 30 µg/m3 in Ecologically
Sensitive area.

exceed national standard.

Table 5.1 Classification of particulate matter

Fraction Size range

Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter  ≤ 10 μm diameter
(RSPM) or PM10 (thoracic fraction)  produced by mechanical attrition of dusts
 lung deposition principally by impaction
 2.5 μm – 10 μm is called coarse fraction

Accumulation mode or Fine particles or  ≤ 2.5 μm in diameter

PM2.5 (respirable fraction)  composed mainly of carbonaceous materials (organic and elemental),
inorganic compounds (sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium), and trace
metal compounds (iron, aluminium, nickel, copper, zinc, and lead)
 penetrates deeper into the lungs
 increases respiratory symptoms, causes irritation of the airways,
coughing, or difficulty breathing, decreases lung function; aggravates
asthma, chronic bronchitis, irregular heartbeat, nonfatal heart attacks,
premature death in people with heart or lung disease

Ultrafine Particles (UFP)  ≤ 0.1 μm large surface area to mass ratio

 making them potential carriers of harmful gaseous compounds
 cause severe pulmonary inflammation and hemorrhage, high degree
of alveolar and interstitial edema, disruption of epithelial and
endothelial cell layers and even death

 Chapter 5: Air quality wrt. PM10 - 2019

Figure 5.1: Particulate Matter

a. Based on the generation mechanism, PM are categorized into

 Dispersion Originated- the particulate originated from wind generated movement in nature as
well as manmade or from the breakdown from liquid or solid bulk materials, i.e. by grinding,
atomization, natural dispersion, wind erosion etc. Eg. Dust (Dispersion Originated) is produced
by subdivision of solid material through mechanical actions or in nature. Anthropogenic
emissions are generated during grinding or milling of materials, during transfer of finely divided
material as well as from agriculture, forestry and construction activities. The larger the particle
diameter, they tend to settle faster. The rate of settling also depends on density and shape of
particles. Particles larger than 50 μm settle rapidly.
 Condensation Originated - build up from molecular dimension after heating and cooling. Eg.
Fumes (Condensation Originated) areroduced from hot solid substances by vaporization and
condensation usually industrial process originated, combustion originated or from metallurgical
processes.
Mist (Dispersion & Condensation Originated) is generated from liquid by mechanical actions,
evaporation and/or condensation of vapors generated from Industrial processes, spraying,
electroplating etc.

Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter or PM10 are the particles with upper size limited by a 50% cut
at 10 m aerodynamic diameter (USEPA, 1996). They consist of particles with a diameter up to 10 µm.
The major constituents of PM10 are organic and elemental carbon, metals/elements like silicon,
magnesium, iron, ions like sulphates, nitrates, ammonium etc. PM10 can be formed by physical
processes of crushing, grinding and abrasion of surfaces. Mining and agricultural activities are some of
the sources of large size particles. The anthropogenic source are mechanical break-up of larger solid
particles, wind blown dust such as road dust, fly ash, soot, agricultural processes, physical processes of
crushing, grinding and abrasion of surfaces, photo chemically produced particles, such as those found in
urban haze, pollen grains, mould spores, and plant and insect parts, combustion of fossil fuel (coal,
heavy fuel oil in thermal power plants, office, factories), paper Industry, extraction & distribution of fossil
fuels, smelting of metals (sulfide ores to produce copper, lead and zinc), petroleum refining, combustion
process in diesel, petrol, natural gas driven vehicles. PM10 can settle in the bronchi and lungs and cause
health problems like respiratory illness, visibility impairment, aggravate existing heart and lung diseases.
It also causes visibility reduction. A compilation of sources and effects of PM10 are given in Annexure 1.

In this chapter, a detailed comparison of locations and cities with respect to PM10 levels in the country
has been.

5.1 Locations and cities exceeding the NAAQS

Table 5.2 shows the number of locations and cities exceeding the NAAQS with respect to PM10 during
2019. During 2019 in residential / Industrial / Rural area 577 location exceed NAAQS of 60 µg/m3 and in
ecologically Sensitive area 17 locations exceed NAAQS of 60 µg/m3. Taking cities into consideration, in

Locations:

The location with highest level of PM10 (annual average) during 2019 is India Glycol Ltd. Gida,
Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh with 351 µg/m3 in Residential / Industrial / Rural area and Nunhai, Agra, Uttar
Pradesh with 228 µg/m3 in Ecologically Sensitive area.

City:

Ambient air quality data with respect to PM10 is given in Annexure 5. The city (Residential / Industrial /
Rural area) with highest level of PM10 (annual average) during 2019 is Jharia, Jharkhand with 302 µg/m3
and Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh (Ecologically Sensitive area) with 214 µg/m3.

5.2 PM10 in different zones of the country

The graphs below compares the ambient air quality with respect to PM10 in different zones of the county.
It can be seen that the central, north-east and south zones have comparatively lower level of PM10 than
east, north and west zones (Fugure 5.2 to 5.7).

 Chapter 7 : Air quality trend in million-plus cities

7.0 Million-plus cities

A metropolitan area, sometimes referred to as a metro area or metro or million plus city, is a region
consisting of a densely populated urban core and its less-populated surrounding territories, sharing
industry, infrastructure and housing. A metropolitan area usually comprises
multiple jurisdictions and municipalities: neighborhoods, townships, cities, exurbs, counties, districts and
even states. As social, economic and political institutions have changed, metropolitan areas have become
key economic and political regions. Metropolitan areas include one or more urban areas, as well as
satellite cities, towns and intervening rural areas that are socio-economically tied to the urban core,
typically measured by commuting patterns.

In India as per Census of India 2011 urban area or town is defined as; 1. All places with a municipality,
corporation, cantonment board or notified town area committee, etc. 2. All other places which satisfied the
following criteria: i) A minimum population of 5,000; ii) At least 75 per cent of the male main working
population engaged in non-agricultural pursuits; and iii) A density of population of at least 400 persons
per sq. km.

The first category of urban units is known as Statutory Towns. These towns are notified under law by the
concerned State/UT Government and have local bodies like municipal corporations, municipalities,
municipal committees, etc., irrespective of their demographic characteristics as reckoned on 31st
December 2009. Examples: Vadodara (M Corp.), Shimla (M Corp.) etc. The second category of Towns
(as in item 2 above) is known as Census Town. These were identified on the basis of Census 2001 data.

In India as per Census 2011 an Urban Agglomeration (UA is a continuous urban spread constituting a
town and its adjoining outgrowths (OGs), or two or more physically contiguous towns together with or
without outgrowths of such towns. An Urban Agglomeration must consist of at least a statutory town and
its total population (i.e. all the constituents put together) should not be less than 20,000 as per the 2001
Census. In varying local conditions, there were similar other combinations which have been treated as
urban agglomerations satisfying the basic condition of contiguity. Examples: Greater Mumbai UA, Delhi
UA, etc.

An Out Growth (OG) is a viable unit such as a village or a hamlet or an enumeration block made up of
such village or hamlet and clearly identifiable in terms of its boundaries and location. Some of the
examples are railway colony, university campus, port area, military camps, etc., which have come up near
a statutory town outside its statutory limits but within the revenue limits of a village or villages contiguous
to the town. While determining the outgrowth of a town, it has been ensured that it possesses the urban
features in terms of infrastructure and amenities such as pucca roads, electricity, taps, drainage system
for disposal of waste water etc. educational institutions, post offices, medical facilities, banks etc. and
physically contiguous with the core town of the UA. Examples: Central Railway Colony (OG), Triveni
Nagar (N.E.C.S.W.) (OG), etc. Each such town together with its outgrowth(s) is treated as an integrated
urban area and is designated as an ‘urban agglomeration’. In the 2011 Census, 475 places with 981 OGs
have been identified as Urban Agglomerations as against 384 UAs with 962 OGs in 2001 Census.

The constant growth and industrialization leads to increase in pollution. An inventory of air pollutants is a
necessary first step towards control of air pollution. Air pollutants can be natural or may be the result of
various anthropogenic activities like industrial emissions. Further the air pollutants can be primary or
secondary depending upon their formation mechanism. Primary pollutants are directly emitted from the
source and secondary pollutants are formed in the atmosphere. Meteorological factors play a critical role in
ambient concentrations of air pollutants. Even though the total discharge of air pollutants into the
atmosphere may remain constant, the ambient concentrations of air pollutants may vary depending upon
the meteorological conditions. According to Census of India, 2011 conducted by the office of the Register
General and Census Commissioner, India under Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India the total
urban population in the country is more than 377 million constituting 31.16% of the total population.

56
 Chapter 7 : Air quality trend in million-plus cities

The cities are classified accordingly:

Class I UAs/Towns are the UAs/Towns which have at least 1,00,000 persons as population. At the Census
2011, there are 468 such UAs/Towns. The corresponding number in Census 2001 was 394.

Million Plus/UAs/Towns have One million or above population which are the major urban centres in the
country. 160.7 million persons (or 42.6% of the urban population) live in these Million Plus UAs/Cities.

In the above cities ambient air quality monitoring is required to determine the existing quality of air,
evaluation of the effectiveness of control programme and to identify areas in need of restoration and their
prioritization. This chapter gives an insight into the trends of air pollutants for SO2, NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 in
the 53 million plus cities (population ≥ 10 lakh or 1 million; Census 2011). An analysis of five years data
reveals a stable trend of SO2 within the NAAQS. This may be attributed to various interventions that have
taken place in recent years such as reduction in sulphur in diesel, use of cleaner fuel such as CNG in metro
cities, change in domestic fuel from coal to LPG etc. NO2 concentration has remained more or less stable in
most of the cities over the years despite increase in sources like vehicles. The reason for this may be
various intervention measures that have taken place such as improvement in vehicle technology and other
vehicular pollution control measures like alternate fuel etc. PM10 concentration shows fluctuating trend.
Vehicular emission is a major source of PM10. Increasing number of vehicles may be a reason for this trend.
The other reasons being emission from gensets, small scale industries, biomass incineration, suspension of
traffic dust, natural dust, commercial and domestic use of fuel etc.

7.1 Ambient air quality stations in million-plus cities under NAMP during 2019

There are of 264 stations in million plus cities during 2019 (258 in Residential / industrial / rural /
commercial areas and 6 in ecologically sensitive area. The analysis of air quality in metropolitan cities /
million plus cities with respect to SO2 reveals all the cities are within the NAAQS. With respect to NO2, 8
cities, PM10, 44 cities and PM2.5 10 cities exceed the NAAQS (Table 7.1). The air quality status in the
metropolitan cities is given in Table 7.2.

8.0 Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

Introduction:

Air quality is a major concern worldwide. Therefore, the knowledge on instantaneous air quality
(real-time) has become a need for the society. This has been possible with the Continuous
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System (CAAQMS) which monitors pollutants using different
analyzers and working principles, thereby, generating, transmitting and displaying data within
minutes, reducing the chances of manual error. Further, awareness of daily levels of air
pollution is important to the citizens, especially for those who suffer from illnesses caused by
exposure to air pollution.
Central Pollution Control Board has notified 4th version of National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) - 2009 in which 12 set of health based parameters were notified. This
necessitated the requirement of monitoring these parameters at National level with the notified
methods. Therefore, the present NAAQS required an integrated system of monitoring i.e. it is a
combination of Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System (CAAQMS) and manual
monitoring system as the real time system can handle only 08 set of parameters. Since, the
inauguration of National Air Quality Index (NAQI) - a tool for effective dissemination of air quality
information to the public, by Hon’ble Prime Minister, the necessity of real time data was felt to
generate the daily NAQI of cities. The instantaneous data therefore, is more relevant for
depicting real-time generic information in the form of National Air Quality Index (AQI).
The CAAQMS network has got paced in the country to generate the real time air quality data,
which is not only essential for publishing AQI, but also capable of providing (i) continuous flow of
information, (ii) warning at critical period, (iii) trend analysis of any selective interval, (iv) quality
data generation with minimizing human error, etc. Therefore, this real-time data displayed at
respective locations, not only bring about a participation of general public in the prevention &
control of air pollution at respective area of activity but also links with the authorities in
respective areas, helping in quick policy decisions and intervention.
8.1 Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System
A Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System is a specialised system that is housed in a
temperature controlled container/room and is equipped for monitoring of ambient air pollutants
using different analyzers. The real time data generated through this system is transferred to
Central Server and also to digital display board for public viewing. The data of these CAAQMS
are being used for generating the daily National Air Quality Index (NAQI) of the cities.

CAAQM Station
A Continuous Ambient Air
Quality Monitoring System is a
specialised system is equipped
for monitoring of ambient air
pollutants and transmit the real
time data to the Central Server.
This data is used for
computation of daily National
Air Quality Index of the cities.

The pollutants which are measured using this system are:

Pollutant Principle of measurement
Particulate Matter, PM10 Beta Attenuation

Particulate Matter, PM2.5 Beta Attenuation

Sulphur dioxide, SO2 Ultraviolet Fluorescence

Nitrogen dioxide, NO2 Chemiluminiscence
Ammonia, NH3 Chemiluminiscence
Carbon Monoxide, CO Non Dispersive Infra-Red -
NDIR
Ozone, O3 U V Photometric
Benzene Gas Chromatography - FID,
PID

The CAAQM stations are also equipped with sensors to measure meteorological parameters
such as Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Ambient Temperature, Relative Humidity, Solar Radiation
and Rainfall.

CAAQM stations provide real time data which enables assessment of extent of pollution in real
time. The analyser used for measurement are USEPA/TUV/MCERTS certified. For quality data
generation, the analyzers are calibrated using certified reference standards (NIST certified
Gases/NIST certified Foil Gauges for Particulate Matter). Performance audit of CAAQM stations
are carried out once in a year by third party. The CAAQM station operated by CPCB are also
under NABL accreditation as per ISO 17025:2005.

8.5 National Air Quality Index

National Air Quality Index (NAQI) was launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister on 6th April, 2015
with the objective for dissemination of Air Quality information to the public. Computation of AQI
is done using real-time data of Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations. This index
will help the people to know about the level of pollution in the ambient air on daily basis. The
AQI Display has been increased from the initial 10 cities to currently 114 cities in 20 States/UTs
of India. Total 208 Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations all over the country are
connected with NAQI.
The AQI consider eight pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, NH3, and Pb), it is calculated
only if data are available for minimum three pollutants out of which one should necessarily be
either PM2.5 or PM10. There are six AQI categories namely, Good, Satisfactory, Moderate, Poor,
Very Poor, and Severe. The AQI values and corresponding ambient concentrations (health
breakpoints) as well as associated likely health impacts are as follows:

9.0 Initiatives for Control of Air Pollution

A multidimensional approach of regulatory, technical, innovative solutions and

integrated control strategies have been taken by the government for improving overall
air quality in the country. The results have been encouraging with gradual
improvement.

 At present air quality monitoring network has been strengthened to 804 manual
and 231 real time stations covering 344 and 128 cities respectively. The current
manual network will be strengthened by additional 1581 manual and 800 real time
monitoring stations.
 A centralized data collection and dissemination system continuously disseminates
air quality information including Air Quality Index (AQI) to the public.
 In addition to present ground based air quality monitoring network alternate
monitoring methods such as Satellite based monitoring using aerosol optical depth
(AOD) is being established to supplement the regulatory monitoring network in
collaboration with IIT Delhi under a project titled “Satellite based near real time
monitoring of ambient PM2.5 at national scale for air quality management”.
 Revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) were notified in 2009
for 12 pollutants in order to protect human and ecological health.
 At present 122 non-attainment cities have been identified based on air quality data
form 2014-18 as cities which exceed National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
Particulate Matter is a major concern in non-attainment cities.
 City action plans of are being implemented for 110 non-attainment cities while
actions plans are being revised for remaining 12 cities. These plans include actions
to control emissions from various city specific sources identified as per emission
inventory and source apportionment studies.
 In 2019, National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) was launched by Ministry of
Environment, Forest and Climate Change with targets to achieve 20 to 30 %
reduction in PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations by 2024 across the country.
 NCAP includes mainstreaming initiatives under five national missions of National
Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) viz. National Solar Mission, National
Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency, National Mission on Sustainable Habitat,
National Mission for a Green India and National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture.
 Under NCAP ₹224.74 crores have been released to 90 cities including 28 million
plus population and 07 cities of north east region in 2019-20 for initiating priority
action.
 Further, Fifteenth Finance Commission has recommended ₹4400 cores to 42
million plus cities in 2020-21 for air quality improvement including capacity building
of local bodies & State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs).
 Major sectoral interventions having direct link to air quality improvement are:
 Development of low carbon strategies across sectors such as phasing out older
coal based power plants, compliance of standards, City Gas Distribution (CGD)
network, emphasis on improved power reliability in urban areas, etc.
 Promotion of policies such as 5-10% use of biomass pellets with coal for power
generation in thermal power plants and 10% ethanol blending in transport fuels
by 2022.
 Around 63 industry-specific emission standards have been developed or
revised for different sectors including thermal power plants. Criteria for
categorizing industries in red/orange/green/white categories have been
87
 Chapter 9: Initiatives for control of air pollution

adopted by SPCBs/PCCs for strengthening enforcement mechanism of

environmental norms. Oxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen (SO 2 and NOx)
standards for glass, lime kiln, reheating furnaces, foundry, ceramic industry,
and airport noise) have been evolved and six emission standards (thermal
power plant, sugar, man-made fibres, fertilizer, cement, and brick kiln) have
been revised.
 In order to strengthen the enforcement regime Online Continuous
Effluent/Emission Monitoring System (OCEMS) in 17-categories of highly
polluting industries have been installed at 3519 out of 4251 industrial units in
the country.
 Leapfrogging to BS VI fuel. Specific actions initiated under city action plans to
establish e-mobility ecosystem, including vehicle manufacturers, charging
infrastructure companies, fleet operators, service providers, etc.
 Extension of Ujawala Yojana to ensure shifting to cleaner fuel.
 Technical interventions are being also explored to control air pollution. Pilot
projects were deployed in Delhi for evaluation of localised air pollution mitigation
technologies:
 As air quality management cannot be restricted to administrative boundaries an
airshed approach to delineate regions experiencing similar air quality or areas
affecting air quality of downwind locations is being initiated to formulate
comprehensive air quality management policies.
 Research and Development towards air quality management is being undertaken
in collaboration with national and international experts Regional air quality
modelling is being taken up to fortify air quality management plans in Indo Gangetic
Plain. Air Quality Early Warning System for Delhi has been implemented for
facilitating proactive actions.
 Crop reside burning is being closely monitored using satellite based Active Fire
Events (AFEs) during the stubble burning periods. Along with financial incentives
provided for in-situ crop residue management in States of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar
Pradesh and the National Capital Territory of Delhi, several awareness
programmes have been organised. Efforts have led to consistent decrease in
stubble burning in the Haryana.
 Guidelines including siting criteria, pollution prevention and control measures with
respect to fuel leakages during fuel filling operations and from underground storage
tanks and VOC emissions released during fuel unloading and filling operations has
been prepared. Installation of Vapor Recovery System at new petrol pumps selling
more than 100 KLPM and located in cities with million plus population, and, petrol
pumps selling more than 300 KLPM and located in cities with population between
01 lakhs to 01 million recommended.
 A super city network programme is being formulated to capture air quality
information at 10 sites using state of the art ambient air quality measurement
techniques.
 A certification scheme has been established for certifying ambient air quality
monitoring instruments in India.
 SAMEER App and Social Media platform (Facebook & Twitter) have been set up
by CPCB, which have been very effective in monitoring performance of
implementing agencies to curb Air Pollution.
