Research

Research Facilities

Air is a mixture of different gases which are in equilibrium and when such an equilibrium gets disturbed air pollution occurs and consequent results are seen in the form of global warming, climate change, ozone layer depletion, green house effects, acid deposition etc. Air also constitutes the particles. A number studies have stated that aerosol particles and trace gases play vital role in radiative forcing and climate change and have significant implications on human health and plants. The effects of aerosols depend upon their physical, optical, chemical and biological properties. The Indo-Gangetic plain hosts 40% of Indian populations and have extreme climatic conditions with extremely high temperature in summer, low in winter and reduced rain intensity and pubic are suffering from increased number of epidemic and endemic diseases. With this in view aerosol and trace gas measurements have been carrying over Agra region which is famous for Taj Mahal in the world.

  • Aerosol and trace gas measurements
  • Chemical characterization of aerosol
  • Source apportionment study
  • Wet deposition
  • Dry depositionParameterization
  • Bioaerosol
