Directed Research Project

The Project "Mobile Air Quality Monitoring for the Assessment of Urban Air Quality" aimed on monitoring & assessing Particulate Matter Concentrations in the urban areas of Rajkot city. This was done by installing and air quality monitoring device on the City Buses which would give the PM data along with the geographic coordinates. The data obtained through this data was analyzed, trends were studied and High Concentration areas were identified. Further on field surveys were done to identify the problem sources & measures to mitigate them were proposed. To view the full report, click here
