Studies on development of online measurement of PM2.5 and PM10 releasing from industrial flue gas stack

Abstract

The industrial area is facing the problem of deteriorate ambient air quality due to excessive industrial pollution. Exposure to air borne fine particular matter is a major threat to human health. National ambient air quality standards for PM2.5 and PM10 are 100µg/m3 and 80µg/m3 respectively in ambient air. At preset statutory norms are available for measurement of particular matter in stack only due to unavailability of PM2.5 and PM10 measurement techniques. The current study focuses on the development of online method for continued measurement of PM2.5 and PM10.
