Abstract :

Atmosphere as varied and vast as the universe itself is a natural phenomenon all pervasive. The process of atmospheric studies has been there ever since the existence of human race. From ancient times when men were living in caves looked up at the skies in anticipation till the modern times of prediction, atmosphere continues to be an area of serious studies. Air pollutants released from various sources affect directly or indirectly man and his environment. Air pollutants emitted from different sources are transported, dispersed or deposited by meteorological and topographical conditions. Pollutants are substances which, when present at high enough concentrations, produce harmful effects on people and/or the environment.
