Assessment of Microbial (Bacterial) Concentrations of Ambient Air Quality in Neyveli Air Basin
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present study, outdoor airborne microflora (bacteria) at different locations, viz Health care center, Commercial Complex, Traffic Junction, Industrial Unit, Sewage treatment plant and Agricultural area of Neyveli, southern peninsular of India was investigated on 5 , 7 April, 2008. It was observed that the Concentrations of airborne viable bacteria averaged between 229+1.58CFU/m at Mandharakuppam and 50+O.OCFU/m at Mudhanai, and the following trend among the locations: Mandharakuppam > Block 29 > Block 10 > Block 6 > Block 26 > Mudhanai. Airborne Bacteria were most abundant, with more than 60 to 90% of the measured population at each location. The study concluded that the variation in bacteria concentration at each location was due to the effect of meteorological factors such as temperature, Relative Humidity and wind speed&wind direction. KeywordsBacteria, Airbone, Agriculture, Meterological factors.
