Abstract This research paper aims at establishing baseline PM10 and PM2.5 concentration levels in Satna city. The relative contribution of PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations are to be investigated in the city because of the city being overcrowded, congested and deteriorating air quality because of vehicular pollution. Dust lying on the roads is rich in fine particles which are lifted up by the movement of vehicles and become airborne in the atmosphere. Dust lifts up from the roads, remains a continuous line source and impacts fine dust levels into the atmosphere. Emissions depend upon the load/weight and speed of vehicles and humidification of the dust besides the type of dust on the roads. Another major source of fine particles are stock piles of construction material in urban centres. Last but not least, climate change resulting from environmental pollution affects the geographical distribution of many infectious diseases, as do natural disasters. The only way to tackle this problem is through public awareness coupled with a multidisciplinary approach by scientific experts. Particulate matter pollution is a significant environmental concern globally, linked to various adverse health effects. This research study employs a systematic approach, combining field measurements, data analysis, and literature review to evaluate the current scenario of PM10 and PM2.5 pollution in Satna City. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of the local air quality situation and facilitate the development of effective mitigation strategies.
