- Abstract
The article presents information on air quality conditions and sources of PM1O in urban cities in India.. In India, no specific trend of PM1O in ten major cities is observed during the last decade. The PM1O problem is still significant and exceeding the CPCB guidelines. The two-wheeler vehicles are increasingly plying on the roads during last decade. This indicates that there is no direct relationship between the vehicular exhaust and PM1O pollution. It was observed that road transports a major source of PM10 with other significant contribution from power plant, combustion process and non-combustion process in addition to road dust, refuse burning and marine aerosol.
