STUDY ON AMBIENT AIR QUALITY AT BIRLA VIKAS CEMENT, SATNASADHANA CHAURASIA AND ANAND DEV GUPTAAbstract Cement industry is flourishing in Satna district due to rapid population growth, the change in living style, and the availability of raw material in the region. Unless restricted regulations are enforced by local authorities to ensure compliance with national and international standards upon this industry, the increase of cement factories and their associated quarries in the region may deteriorate air quality and thus threaten the fragile ecosystems in the region. This paper presents predictions of air pollutants (PM 10, PM2.5, SOx and NOx) emitted from a Birla Vikas cement plant, Satna (M.P.). The proposed study indicates that concentration of gaseous pollutants was found well within the permissible limit but particulate matter especially PM10was found slightly high from the permissible limits. Therefore, the proposed activity may pose adverse impact on the environment of the study area.
