Increase in Levels of Concentration of Air Pollutants on Onset of Autumn Season in Srinagar City

Air pollution is growing rapidly due to modernization. On the one hand, air pollution is an environmental problem and on other hand, it is a social problem. Air pollution leads away to unfavorable effects on human well-being, the ecosystem, and the climate. As air pollution is increasing day by day the human well-being is decreasing. Many hearts and lung diseases are increasing due to air pollution and decreasing the life of humans. Therefore air quality monitoring stations are the basic necessity of a digital city to have an overview of present levels of pollution. The project looks into the levels of pollutants sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter (PM₁₀), from numerous sources over ambient air quality of Srinagar city. My research is conducted in Srinagar city. The samples of PM were collected in the main office Jammu and Kashmir pollution control board Rajbagh as a monitoring station was installed on the campus of Jammu and Kashmir Pollution Control Board (JKPCB). Sox and NOx was the first time conducted in the valley. Every sample is weekly taken and the average is taken monthly according to regulations of the central pollution control board. The main cause of pollution in Srinagar city is increased  the number of vehicles, use of old engine vehicle and no norms have been set for them to combat such problem. From the observation, the data while lockdown   was data analyzed was much less than permissible value which is due to vehicular movements.
