Environmental Impact Assessment in a Secondary Metallurgical Industry With Respect to Air Pollution

Abstract

In this project work the environment impact assessment of a secondary metallurgical industry situated near mandi gobindgarh town is studied primarily focusing on ambient air pollution. First of all the sites are selected for the monitoring purpose on the bases of guidelines, obtained meteorological data and our requirement. Sampling for the pollutants is done and then is compared with the standards. Further the ground level concentration of the pollutant is obtained using the AERMOD view cloud software which is based on the Gaussian model. A certain site was elected for the study of project. The selected site is a secondary metallurgical industry which does fall under the A category as it is situated in the mandi gobindgarh which is categorized as highly polluted area by CPCB. This project work includes the Collection and interpretation of the Meteorological data ,Collection of Ambient air quality data, Analysis of Ambient air quality data and its interpretation, Evaluation of ground level concentration of pollutants due to stack emission, Analysis of results obtained and its comparison with results from other sources.
