Abstract

PM10 and PM2.5 were collected in Lucknow city at 4 locations in three different seasons. Concentration of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) was found maximum in winter season followed by summer and monsoon. The correlation coefficients in different areas between PM2.5 and PM10 ranged from 0.86 to 0.96 thus that most of the PM2.5 and PM10 are originally from same sources. In the present study mean quantum of heavy metals associated with particulates examined and found in order of Fe>Pb>Ni>Cu>Cr>Cd. Total metal concentration was found in the following order in study area i.e. Talkatora>Charbagh>Chowk>Aliganj. It has been observed that in Aliganj which is purly residential zone shown lesser amount of respiratory and ocular symptoms as compared to all other locations. During winter season particulates are also observed higher, suggesting that it may have a role in respiratory disorders or aggravation of respiratory problems among the residents.
