Air Pollution in Industrial Area
Abstract
Large scale industrialisation increases the production of materials and urbanisation leads to the creation o f mega cities where there is a tremendous increase in the number of industries, Vehicles and vehicular traffic. The ill effects of these activities are reflected in the form environmental problems. one such problem is the deterioration of urban air quality in India and other developing countries. Air pollution causes eye irritation .lung cancer, asthma, brochchetisis etc which reduces the efficiency at work. Epidemiological studies showed there is a significant association between the conce3ntration of ai r pollution and adverse health impacts ( ostro.et.al 1945, MJA 2004) lack of opportunities for gainful employment, drought prone problems Flourosis problem associated with the drinking water quality in Telenaga na state has led to ever increasing population migration of poor from rural areas resulted in urban slums which exert pressure on the environmental resources of the city. Taking that factor into consideration present carried out research study by carrying out studies in the industrial area of Hyderabad and developed a controlling technology for removal of air pollutant sulphurdioxide .

Introduction
The natural resources that support life are air, water, soil and solar energy. Air is considered as the most essential resource for the survival of habitation but it is polluted in one way or another. A.P. Govt. Created six industrial estates in a 36 mi le radius from Hyderabad. The largest was a 440 hectare estate in Patanche ru, some of the biggest bulk drugs and pharmaceutical industries in A.P. are located in this area. Patencheru is a classical example which is critically air pollute d. CPCB in consultation with state pollution control boards has identified 22 critically pol luted areas in the country for the control pollution. Patancheru is one among them. The primary air pollutants that have been identified are mercaptans, suspended particulate matter, Sulphur dioxide, Hydrogen, Sulphide, Chlorines and Organophosphates.
Conclusion
Adsorption of SO2 by various waste materials can take care of air pollution caused due to S 2 every industry has to establish pollution control equipments to check and control these air pollutants.
