Abstract :

This paper presents data of the ambient air quality status of residential area of Hyderabad viz. Kukatpally, Bachupally, Nijampet, Miyapur, jeedimetla and IDA Kazipally areas in state of Telangana India. The Air quality was assessed based on National Ambient air Quality Standards stipulated as per the CPCB notification, 18th November, 2009. The ambient air quality survey was carried out during the summer for a period of 24 hrs. at six different locations with respect to, PM 10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx Ammonia, Carbon monoxide, H2S, Volatile Organic compounds & Mercaptans During summer, The Benzene was found concentration of all monitoring locations was well within the limit and the concentration ranges from 1.0 to 5.0 μg/m3 Toluene and Xylene are also presented in some of the monitoring location the concentrations are in the range of 1.0 to 5.0 μg/m3. Toulene & Xylene presents because of Vehicle & Industries emissions.Remaining all volatile organic compounds was not detected in all monitoring locations and the minimum detectable limit is 1.0 μg/ m3.Pollutants concentration (S02, N0x, PM-I0,PM-2.5,NH3 and H2S) was used to calculate the air quality index .
