South Katraj Region:A Source of Dust Pollution

The earth's atmosphere is composed of various gases which contain various harmful elements in different quantities. The compound mass of gases sometime show adverse effect on living organisms as well as some of them are very much essential for every living organism on the earth's surface and assist their survival, however the depletion of ozone i.e. stratospheric ozone depletion has been recorded which is a proved as a threat to life on the planet as well as the ecosystem. The several methods are adapted globally to measure ambient air quality and its parameters. Around thirteen parameters were examined by CPCB in Pune in 2007. After the core study of air parameters, dust found as an important constituent of polluted air which is causing many problems in daily day life. South Katraj region is an ideal home of quarrying units. Many Crushers are running since last few decades to produce large quantity aggregates which serve many construction activities nearby Pune. Dust is product of such quarrying and huge quantity of dust is falling over South Katraj area. These research works with fine experimentation have focused of huge dustfall and its distribution. The seasonal dustfall, its distribution and behavior is studied carefully to find the best solution which will help control the quality air around selected study area.
