With an increased pace of industrialization especially in developing countries, environmental problems have also increased. At the same time, with growing population and economic development, there has been a rapid rise in air pollution sources. Due to this, a number of pollutants are released in the ambient air deteriorating its quality. The health effects caused by air pollution may include difficulty in breathing, wheezing, coughing and aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiac conditions. The ambient air quality of eight selected stations in and around Bidadi industrial area was monitored every fortnight, on an 8 hourly basis in different seasons of the year. Air quality was assayed with respect to the concentration of SPM, SO2 and NOx and the parameters were correlated. The results reveal that the value of SO2 and NOx are within permissible limits in all observed stations, whereas the value of SPM is high in all the stations. Annual Air Quality Indix (AQIs) of selected stations of Bidadi industrial area for the representative year 2012 was calculated to evaluate the level of atmospheric pollution.
