Sachin Patil ^[6] | Sagar Gawande ^[3]

Abstract: The rapid growth of a Pune city and surroundings has a profound impact on the air by vehicular emissions. This is especially true in the developing world, mainly due to high proportion of old, poorly maintained vehicles and poor fuel quality. On 9th May, 2002 the Supreme Court of India issued order in W. P. No.13029 of 1985 directed that a scheme be prepared for improvement of air environment with special reference to vehicular pollution. The Supreme Court of India directed to include Pune City, as one of the four cities. The Air quality of the Pune city day by day will change and goes on the benchmark of pollution. Presently MPCB and IMD monitored air quality of Central Pune city on continuous and intermittent basis. This paper and study has main aims to develop effective monitoring mechanism to monitor the concentration of CO and NOX at existing and new monitoring stations and includes scenario of gaseous air pollutants due to vehicular emission in different areas of Pune city and surroundings so that the station wise air quality and its respective parametric concentrations will analyzed.
