Article Description

Air pollution is a major issue in all around world, it directly impact on human health, which affecting the lungs and respiratory system. This deposited on soil, plants and in the water, further contributing to human exposure and It mixes in the blood and pumped all-around the body. The most important air pollutants found over Delhi were sulfur dioxide (SO), nitrogen dioxides (NO) and suspended particulate matter (SPM). Statistical and wavelet analysis of these air pollutants at three different sample sites two residential namely Janakpuri, Nizamuddin, and one industrial namely Shahazada Bagh over Delhi for the more than 20 year period from 1987 to 2010 in India have been studied. The results shown that the mean concentration of SO decreased for both residential (Janakpuri, Nizamuddin) as well as industrial (Shahzada Bagh) area, whereas NO increased but it is under the prescribed limits of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Janakpuri and Nizamuddin represent almost equal but lower mean values of SO concentration than Shahzada Bagh. SO, NO and SPM at all sites depicts symmetrical and platykurtic behaviour except Shahzada bagh, for that it follows leptokurtic. Discrete wavelet analysis of air pollutants using Daubechies wavelet (level 5) have been calculated for the study. It is also observed that the values at five different levels of signal data for all air pollutants varies between −225 and +225.
