 Karnataka State Pollution Control Board has installed and commissioned two Continuous Ambient Air Quality monitoring stations i.e, one at City     Railway Station, Bangalore and another at Nisarga Bhavan, Saneguruvanahalli, Bangalore . The annual average values of pollutants  (2007-10) generated by CAAQM Stations at City Railway Station and Regional Office Complex ,KSPCB, SG Halli  are as  shown below .



                       Under National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Programme (N.A.M.P), Karnataka State Pollution Control Board is monitoring Ambient Air Quality at 7 ( Graphite India Limited,  KHB  Indl Area,  Peenya Industrial area ,Victoria Hospital , Amco batteries, Yeshwanthpur Police Station and International Machine tools accessories at Peenya ) locations using ‘Respirable Dust Sampler’ (RDS) in Bangalore City by Conventional method.  Four air pollutants viz., Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen as NO2 and Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) and Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM/PM10), have been identified for regular monitoring at all the locations. The monitoring of pollutants is carried out for 24 hours (4-hourly sampling for gaseous pollutants and 8-hourly sampling for particulate matter) with a frequency of twice a week, to have 104 observations in a year.
