AMBIENT AIR QUALITY OF DAMOH (NARSINGARH) CITY FOR CEMENT INDUSTRY: A CASE STUDY
Keywords:
air quality, air pollutants, average concentrationAbstract
Cement industry is a potential anthropogenic source of air pollution. It is a major contributor to dust, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and carbon monoxide (CO) in metropolitan areas. Furthermore, it contributes about 5% of the global CO2, the famous green house gas. In cement industries, dust is emitted from stock piles, quarrying, and transportation of raw materials, kilns operation, clinker cooling and milling. Oxides of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur are mainly produced as a byproduct of fuel combustion for power generation. Urban air quality is a matter of concern because of exposure of large number of people to it.
