Air Environment
To assess the air quality of Nagpur city a
total of 25 sampling locations were selected
for air quality sampling depending upon the
importance of site and/or sensitive receptors
and also based upon previous
meteorological observation around the study
area.
10 locations from residential area
12 locations from commercial area and
3 locations from industrial area.

Ambient Air Quality Status of Nagpur City
Conclusion

The average PM10 concentration varied from 55.0 to 86.2g/m3. The minimum and maximum
values of 24 hourly average PM 2.5 concentrations varied in the range of 9.8
15.2g/m3respectively. The highest concentration was observed at Wadi industrial area which may be
due to windblown dust, unpaved road etc.

Gaseous Pollutants: The observed average concentration of SO2 for all monitoring station varied
from 9.8 to 15.2g/m3. The average concentration of NOX was observed in the range of 18.3 to 35.7
g/m3. The concentrations of SO2 and NOX were observed below the stipulated standards of
NAAQS. . The highest concentration was observed at Hingna industrial area among the locations
monitored which may be due to largest industrial area at Nagpur city.The observed average
concentration of CO for all monitoring stations varies from 0.9 to 2.1 mg/m3.

Heavy Metals in Suspended Particular Matter: Air born particles are important carriers of metals.
Some of which possess toxic properties. The concentration and size distributions of trace metals are
governed by the nature of emission to the atmosphere, as well as rates of wet and dry deposition,
cloud processing, and exchange of air between the boundary layer and the free atmosphere, and
chemical transformation.
 Current Environment Scenario of Nagpur City
Noise Environment
The objective of survey of noise pollution in and
around Nagpur city is to assess the existing levels
of noise, being generated by various activities and
their impact on the human settlement in Nagpur
city.
Noise level monitoring was conducted with a
view to establish the baseline status of the noise
level in Nagpur city with surrounding area and
silence zones.

2. Drinking (Tap) Water Quality
Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is supplying drinking water through its distribution
system. As a part of health concern, water quality monitoring was carried out at the end of
the distribution point i.e. ESR (Elevated Storage Reservoir)
Water samples were collected from 17 locations from different part of the city and analyzed
for drinking water parameters as per IS 10500:2012.The quality of drinking water at the
consumer end w.r.t. physico-chemical and bacteriological report

Conclusion :
From the physico-chemical and bacteriological characteristics of drinking water quality of entire
Nagpur city are safe for drinking. Its indicating that local body is very much concern about
awareness and water quality. Further NMC maintaining properly all water distribution system.
Furthermore, Daily 3000 tap water samples were collected from all ten zones of Nagpur city for
residual chlorine content and it is found that residual chlorine more than 0.2 ppm is presented in
more than 97% samples .
Total 600 samples were collected from each zone and analyzed for presence of total coliform and
thermo tolerant species

 3. Groundwater Quality
As per the sources data by Central Groundwater Board (CGWB), Nagpur, it is estimated
that potential of groundwater availability in Nagpur to be above 25 mcm per year.
The depth of groundwater table varies from 1.65-1.95 m in most of the central part of the
city and extends up to 16 m in the peripheral areas
With the increased population growth and developmental activities the demand of water
supply will increase tremendously thereby need to tap the groundwater source for potable
or non-potable usage. For above facts and uses of ground, it is essential to assess the
ground water quality for its suitability for different usages.
Ground water samples were collected during summer 2014 from Nagpur city [19 samples]
and analyzed for selected environmental parameters viz Physical, Chemical and
bacteriological. Ground water quality characteristics.
CONCLUSION
1. DISSOLVED OXYGEN : All the ground water samples have DO as range of 5.2 to 6.4 mg/l.
Low DO value is quite natural for ground waters, which are not in much exposure with air
environment.
2. CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (COD): All water samples are indicating very low organic
pollution load in terms of COD and all COD values are within the prescribed limit (< 250.0 mg/l)
as in IS 2490:1982.
3. DISSOLVED SOLIDS: All 19 ground water samples have Dissolved Solids ranges from 230.0
918.0 mg/l respectively, which are well below prescribed limit of 2000 mg/l as given in IS
10500:2012.
4. FLUORIDES : All 19 ground water samples have fluoride content ranges from 0.19 to 1.05mg/l
respectively which are lower than desirable limit of 1.0 mg/l as given in IS 10500:2012
5. NITRATE: All 19 ground water samples have nitrate concentration ranges from 1.0 to 19.4 mg/l
respectively, and much below the desirable limit of 45 mg/l.
6. Total Coliform : All ground water samples 10) have the load of total coliform and Faceal coliform
0.0 to 17.0 MPN/100ml and 0.0 to 14.0 MPN/100ml.
7. Oil and Grease:. All 19 ground water samples have O & G content is below detectable limit
respectively.
8. Overall quality of water samples are showing that the water sources of the area are not
polluted. Some water samples getting contamination from surface run-off or domestic uses.
The coliforms values are exception otherwise all the water samples are indicating its
characteristics within limit as given in relevant Indian Standards. Water levels Water
sources in the area are shallow in nature
 4. Lake Water Quality
1. Nagpur city is covered with natural and
manmade lakes. The significant lakes are
Futala, Ambazari, Sonegaon, Gandhi Sagar,
Sakkardara, Naik and Lendi Talav.
2. These lakes are being used for
anthropogenic and recreational purposes
3. On the bank of these lakes, some of the
slums are located, which are using lake
water for washing, bathing and domestic
activities.
4. NMC has taken steps to protect these lakes
for being polluted due to local activities.
5. Every year samples were collected from all
these lakes and analyzed for physico-
chemical parameters to know the water
quality status of these lakes.
Conclusion :
i. It was observed that these lakes are
exerting organic load in the form of
BOD and COD due to manmade
activities.
ii. The mineral contents are found to be
high and increased every year with
respect to dissolved solids, sulphates,
hardness and chloride.
iii. Nutrient load in terms of nitrate and
phosphate are found to be increased
except Ambazari, Futala, Sukkrawari and
Sakkardhara and therefore these are on
the verge of eutrophication.
iv. The lakes are periodically deterioting
and need attention.
v. The heavy metals in some of the lakes
are also found to be exceeded the
permissible limits of drinking water.

Surface Water Resources at Nagpur
There are mainly two surface water body namely
Nag River and Pilli River flowing through the city
areas.
The Nag River flows through the major part of the
city carrying mostly sewage generated from that
particular areas.
The river Pilli passing through mostly outskirts
of city also carrying domestic sewage generated
from the locality besides the river.
The rivers jointly meet Kanhan river and
ultimately in the Gossikhurd reservoi.

An accurate soil analysis is vital to understanding
soil condition of the area.
It gives a basic idea of soil fertility status and can
help while city land uses planning.
It will also provide with the information of land
contamination status of the area.
Soil samples were collected during summer 2014
[May -2014] from different places in and around
the Nagpur city including industrial zones i.e.
from MIDC and Hingna areas where maximum

 Solid Waste Management
 Solid waste handling is a major problem for most of the local governmental
agencies which requires drastic measures to be taken up.
 Three main aspects are involved in solid waste
i. increase in quantity of the waste generation by urban residents;
ii. regular change in the quality of waste generated and
iii. the disposal method of waste collected by land-fill and incineration etc.

 Solid waste generation is based on the changing and adopted life style of
community) (rich, medium and low income group).
 Indian cities are generating more solid wastes based on their improved livelihood.

Category of Solid Waste Generation

Solid waste can be categorized into different types depending on their sources:

 Household waste is generally classified as municipal waste

 Industrial waste as hazardous waste
 Biomedical waste or hospital waste as infections waste
 Slaughter House waste
1. Municipal Solid Waste

Municipal solid waste generation mostly

comprising of household waste (hotels,
restaurants, mangal karlayas, lawns etc.)
construction and demolition debris (excavated
materials, iron, building construction materials),
sanitation residue and waste from streets,
hospitals, slaughter houses, market areas
(Agriculture Waste).
This is generated mainly from residential and
commercial complexes.
NMC Operational System

The Solid Waste activity is managed and operated

by Health Department.
The work of collection and disposal is managed
by a
Senior Sanitary Inspectors and Sanitary
Inspectors (Total 56) , 129 Jamdars supervise , the
work of 7261 sanitary workers.
The management of solid waste involves four
steps. These are:

 The qualitative and quantitative assessment of the different parts of the study
area (Nagpur) indicated that the quantum of air pollution is different and
hence it is utmost important that proper attention should be given in
controlling and minimizing those activities which causes this pollution.
 There should be adequate control norms for emissions into air which should
be observed religiously. So, it is indeed necessary to focus and delineate our
priorities towards minimizing the air pollution load.
 Besides, a carefully drafted policy considering different air pollution
dynamics of different areas i.e. Residential, Commercial and Industrial for
reduce air pollution .
 The air pollution problem can be minimized at the source by making use of
the following measures
i. Substitution of the raw materials.
ii. Modification in the process.
iii. Alterations in the particular equipment or component.
iv. Removal of pollutants at the source.
Recommendations for Air Environment

 Background stations must be included in the network to assess the

anthropogenic impact
 Analytical quality control exercises may be carried out regularly to
analyze and to improve the quality of data.
 A comprehensive urban air quality management strategy should be
formulated and action plan should be regularly reviewed keeping into
view of the results of implementation.
 Studies on inventory of air polluting sources and source
apportionment may be undertaken to improve the action plan to
control air pollution.
 Epidemiological studies should be undertaken to develop dose-
response relationships.
 Monitoring of hazardous air pollutants may be undertaken as they are
well known to have marked effect on human health and environment.

especially before and after festival periods
like
Ganesha and Durga Festival.
Installation of proper sanitation and
hygienic facilities for the people to avoid
river pollution.
Cleaning of road side storm water drainage
system to avoid over flow.
Entrapping the discharge points of the
sewage into the lakes, if any.
Restriction on discharge of domestic waste
from nearby habitation.
Restriction on open defecation on the bank
of the lake.
Provision of public toilet with sufficient
seats (as per the population of slum and
standard norms) is a must for slum residing
near lakeside with proper O&M facility
Restriction on bathing and washing
activities around the lakes and throwing of
waste materials. This is necessary to avoid
addition of nutrient load within the lake
which supports the photosynthetic activities
and is responsible for the eutrophication of
the lake.
Restrictions on immersion of idols in lakes
should be strictly practiced.
Provision for collection centers/space to be
provided for the collection of flowers,
garlands before the immersion of idols in
the water body.
Construction of artificial pond is
recommended for idol immersion activity.
Every year the artificial pond should be
cleaned and the waste should be disposed
off scientifically to avoid further pollution.

purpose.. NGOs
Locations for construction of hand pump should be
identified according to the drainage pattern of area to avoid
any contamination due to sewage drainage.
The water levels before monsoon and after monsoon should
be monitored to assess the recharge of aquifer.
Rain water Harvesting to recharge the ground water
4. Waste Water :
Installation of small STPs (Decentralized option)
along the stretch of these rivers (Nag & Pili).
Treated sewage should be recycled and reuse for
industrial use, for gardening or agriculture
purposes.
Regular monitoring for water quality of drains.
Revival cleanup and restoration of these drains.
Afforestation should be carried out along the
stretch of both the rivers. A dense buffer should
be created with varying levels of plantation.
Only treated water should be discharged to avoid
pollution to the parent river where these rivers
meet.
Dredging and embanking on both edges of the
rivers. Removing of all the weeds and water
hyacinth growing inside the river course.
The dredged materials having good
nutrient potential, should be given to the
farmers or vegetable producing people
for good vegetable growth.
Provision of wetland vegetation and coir
bunding to be made so that the river
water should have natural purification..
Bunds to be provided across the river to
divert water towards wetlands.
Implementation of suggested measures
in the detailed project reports prepared
for different lakes with proper
budgetary provision to assimilate
pollution load.
 LAND ENVIRONMENT

Proper use of excavated top soil layers for plantation

in city area.
Regular monitoring of soil quality to avoid
groundwater pollution.
Restriction on heavy vehicle parking in the city
areas.
Proper management of solid waste to avoid
deterioration of soil quality
Environment Management Plan for solid waste
Periodic review to ensure
implementation of municipal solid
waste management plan (collection,
transportation & disposal).
To increase the SWM collection
efficiency & ensure 100 % coverage.
To practice and strengthen the
segregation of solid waste at source.
Implementation of Recycling
programme.
Training for NMC staff regarding solid
waste management.
Development of an intensive public
education programme.
Association of stake holders for
consultation
Nirmalaya Management:
NMC should plan for the collection of
Nirmalayas from the Ganesh & Durga
Pandols in the city.
The NMC should Chalkout effective
awareness programmes in
consultation with local NGOs and
social organization well ahead of the
start of these festivals and
Spread the message among the
common masses of the effects of
throwing of Nirmalayas into the lake
water body.
Deploy special vehicles for collection
of the Nirmalaya..
Encourage the organisors as well as
common people for the collection of
Nirmalayas and give incentives&
rewards
Finally the vermicomposting of the
Nirmalayas should be practiced
 Slaughter House Waste Management

Co-composting of slaughter house waste can
be done with adjustment of carbon to
nitrogen ratio.
The compost can be applied for agriculture
purpose after assessing the quality of the
compost as per guidelines/standards
specified in the MSW rules.
Scientific treatment of the slaughter house
waste should be planned both for liquid and
solid waste.
 Waste from Health Care Facility (Biomedical Waste)

It should be ensured that the hospitals shall manage & treat

the biomedical waste as per the prescribed norms.
It is always recommended that there should be a common
waster treatment facility existing on the outskirts of the city
limits. Individual treatment should be avoided so as to check
the air pollution level within the city.
Hence, effort to register all the city hospitals should be made
for the common treatment & disposal of the biomedical
waste.
