Abstract
Total Suspended Particulate Matter and Respirable dust concentration in the ambient air from the road sides of lndore city is estimated. High particulate matter concentration, both respirable and non respirable, are found to exceed the permissible limits at most of the locations. The bad road conditions and high density of Vehicular movement are the main causal factors for high concentrations of particulates which gradually builds up due to high rise buildings on eithersides of the road in the city area in contrast to open areas located in the outskirts of the city.
