Abstract

Four-hourly average concentrations of sulphur dioxide, total oxidants (including ozone) and aldehydes (as formaldehyde) observed the Modular. Laboratory Site, BARC, Bombay during 1973 are present, The results are compared with those of earlier years and discussed. An yearly increase of between 5-10 percent is SO2 (monthly average concentrations) is observed since 1969. The interaction of SO2 with oxidants in the atmosphere, observed earlier, is confirmed.

 

For all the pollutants studied it is found that the corresponding four-hourly average concentrations during 1972 and 1973 are log-normally distributed.
