Air Environment

♤ Determination of impact zone (through a screening model) and developing a monitoring network

♤ Monitoring the existing status of ambient air quality within the impacted region (7-10 km from the periphery) of the proposed project site

♤ Monitoring the site-specific meteorological data, viz. wind speed and direction, humidity, ambient temperature and environmental lapse rate

♤ Estimation of quantities of air emissions including fugitive emissions from the proposed project

♤ Identification, quantification and evaluation of other potential emissions (including those of vehicular traffic) within the impact zone and estimation of cumulative of all the emissions/impacts

♤ Prediction of changes in the ambient air quality due to point, line and areas source emissions through appropriate air quality models

♤ Evaluation of the adequacy of the proposed pollution control devices to meet gaseous emission and ambient air quality standards

♤ Delineation of mitigation measures at source, path ways and receptor
