Abstract

Present paper deals with the Assessment of Air Quality in Hyderabad by Using Physical and Biochemical Parameters. Three sites were selected in Hyderabad (from November 2009-October 2011) they are Site-1 IDA (Industrial Development Area) Bollaram, Site – 2 Koti is one of the best-known commercial suburbs of Hyderabad Site – 3 Shivam is situated in Hyderabad, India. AQI for SO2 indicated Good Category at Site-1, Site-2 and site-3 Air Pollution poses little or no risk indicating the green color. AQI for NO? Indicated Hazardous and very unhealthy category of Air Pollution at Site-1, Site-2 and Site-3. AQI for RSPM indicated Moderate category. Members of Sensitive Groups experience more serious health effects. AQI for TSPM indicated Hazardous Category at site-1, Very unhealthy Category at site-2 and Unhealthy Category at site-3
