Abstract
Present study was carried to measure air quality status of main urban center of Haridwar. Parameters such as suspended particulate matter, respiratory suspended particulate matter, oxide of sulphur ( SOx) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were recorded during the study period. Suspended particulate matter and respiratory suspended particulate matter were reported higher than the permissible l imit whereas oxide of sulphur and nitrogen dioxide was recorded under the permissible l imit prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board ( CPCB).
