Current Environment Scenario of Nagpur City Air Environment • To assess the air quality of Nagpur city a total of 25 sampling locations were selected for air quality sampling depending upon the importance of site and/or sensitive receptors and also based upon previous meteorological observation around the study area. • 10 locations from residential area • 12 locations from commercial area and • 3 locations from industrial area.

PM 10 sampling using RDS Sampler at Trimurti Nagar Gaseous Sampling at Manewada Ambient Air Quality Status of Nagpur City Conclusion

3  The average PM 10 concentration varied from 55.0 to 86.2µg/m . The minimum and maximum

values of 24 hourly average PM 2.5 concentrations varied in the range of 9.8 – 15.2µg/m 3respectively. The highest concentration was observed at Wadi industrial area which may be due to windblown dust, unpaved road etc.

 Gaseous Pollutants : The observed average concentration of SO 2 for all monitoring station varied 3 from 9.8 to 15.2µg/m . The average concentration of NO X was observed in the range of 18.3 to 35.7 3 µg/m . The concentrations of SO 2 and NO X were observed below the stipulated standards of NAAQS. . The highest concentration was observed at Hingna industrial area among the locations monitored which may be due to largest industrial area at Nagpur city .The observed average concentration of CO for all monitoring stations varies from 0.9 to 2.1 mg/m 3.  Heavy Metals in Suspended Particular Matter : Air born particles are important carriers of metals. Some of which possess toxic properties. The concentration and size distributions of trace metals are governed by the nature of emission to the atmosphere, as well as rates of wet and dry deposition, cloud processing, and exchange of air between the boundary layer and the free atmosphere, and chemical transfor mation.

Current Environment Scenario of Nagpur City Noise Environment • The objective of survey of noise pollution in and around Nagpur city is to assess the existing levels of noise, being generated by various activities and their impact on the human settlement in Nagpur city. • Noise level monitoring was conducted with a view to establish the baseline status of the noise level in Nagpur city with surrounding area and silence zones . • The background noise levels were measured using the Sound Level Meter [Make-Lutron]. • Noise monitoring was carried out at i. 13 Locations –Residential Area ii. 26 Locations - Commercial Area iii. 8 Locations - Silence /Sensitive Zones

Solid Waste Management

 Solid waste handling is a major problem for most of the local governmental agencies which requires drastic measures to be taken up.  Three main aspects are involved in solid waste i. increase in quantity of the waste generation by urban residents; ii. regular change in the quality of waste generated and iii. the disposal method of waste collected by land-fill and incineration etc.

 Solid waste generation is based on the changing and adopted life style of community) (rich, medium and low income group).  Indian cities are generating more solid wastes based on their improved livelihood .

Category of Solid Waste Generation

Solid waste can be categorized into different types depending on their sources:

 Household waste is generally classified as municipal waste  Industrial waste as hazardous waste  Biomedical waste or hospital waste as infections waste  Slaughter House waste 1. Municipal Solid Waste

• Municipal solid waste generation mostly comprising of household waste (hotels, restaurants, mangal karlayas, lawns etc.) construction and demolition debris (excavated materials, iron, building construction materials), sanitation residue and waste from streets, hospitals, slaughter houses, market areas (Agriculture Waste). • This is generated mainly from residential and commercial complexes. NMC Operational System

• The Solid Waste activity is managed and operated by Health Department. • The work of collection and disposal is managed by a • Senior Sanitary Inspectors and Sanitary Inspectors (Total 56) , 129 Jamdars supervise , the work of 7261 sanitary workers. • The management of solid waste involves four steps. These are: i. Generation and Composition of Waste ii. Collection of Waste iii. Transportation of Waste Details about NMC's Area iv.

1. AIR ENVIRONMENT

 The qualitative and quantitative assessment of the different parts of the study area (Nagpur) indicated that the quantum of air pollution is different and hence it is utmost important that proper attention should be given in controlling and minimizing those activities which causes this pollution.  There should be adequate control norms for emissions into air which should be observed religiously. So, it is indeed necessary to focus and delineate our priorities towards minimizing the air pollution load .  Besides, a carefully drafted policy considering different air pollution dynamics of different areas i.e. Residential, Commercial and Industrial for reduce air pollution .  The air pollution problem can be minimized at the source by making use of the following measures i. Substitution of the raw materials. ii. Modification in the process. iii. Alterations in the particular equipment or component. iv. Removal of pollutants at the source. Recommendations for Air Environment

 Background stations must be included in the network to assess the anthropogenic impact  Analytical quality control exercises may be carried out regularly to analyze and to improve the quality of data.  A comprehensive urban air quality management strategy should be formulated and action plan should be regularly reviewed keeping into view of the results of implementation.  Studies on inventory of air polluting sources and source apportionment may be undertaken to improve the action plan to control air pollution.  Epidemiological studies should be undertaken to develop dose- response relationships.  Monitoring of hazardous air pollutants may be undertaken as they are well known to have marked effect on human health and environment. 2. NOISE ENVIRONMENT

 Regular monitoring of noise levels in  There is possibility of increasing noise level different parts of the city areas during the festival periods because of the (commercial, industrial and sensitive loudspeakers and the speeches, so zone). restrictions on such activities be imposed  Transportation activities need to be routed during night time (time schedule for during day and night time mostly for the permission of such activities). heavy vehicles entering into the city.

Individual treatment should be avoided so as to check the air pollution level within the city. • Hence, effort to register all the city hospitals should be made for the common treatment & disposal of the biomedical waste.
