ABSTRACT
This paper presents air quality data interpretation and air quality index (AQI) prevailing in 13
districts of Uttar Pradesh during period of 2001 to 2009. The mathematical function for calculating
sub-indices is based on IND-AQI and USEPA. A maximum operator calculation mode is used to
determine the overall AQI. The air pollutants included in the AQI are SO2, NO2, SPM, PM10,
PM2.5, NH3, CO, C6H6, O3, Pb, Hg, Ni, As and benzopyrene. The data show that air quality is worst
in winter months because of SPM, PM10 and PM2.5. Air Quality generally improves in monsoon
months because of washout of air pollutants with rainfall. Maximum AQI variation is found in
Ghaziabad, Agra and Firozabad whereas minimum AQI variation is found in Anpara, Gajraula
and Jhansi.

Figure 1: Monthly variation of AQI at Lucknow during 2001-09
Overall at all 13 districts of Uttar Pradesh, AQI value decreases from July to October and lies in
good to moderate category due to rain whereas AQI value increases from November to February
and lies in ‘unhealthy for senstive people’ category to ‘unhealthy’ category in most of the cities as
