National Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP)
NAMP present scenario

• N.A.M.P. started in 1984 with 7 stations in Agra
  and Anpara. Presently 424 operating stations in
  175 cities/towns.
• Parameters being monitored SO2, NO2, RSPM (PM10),
  SPM at all stations.
• Trace Metals, PAHs, NH3 in few cities
• BTX, Ozone monitoring conducted in Delhi and some
  major cities

NAMP Parameters

• Parameters monitored
• Criteria pollutants viz. PM10, SO2, NO2 monitored
  at all (424) locations
• Ammonia, CO, O3, PM2.5 and Lead monitored at few
  locations
• Following parameters needs to be monitored
• PM 2.5
• Benzo(a)pyrene
• Carbon monoxide
• Ozone
• Benzene
• Metals

Monitoring Programme for additional parameters of
Ambient Air Quality for next two years (
2010-2011 2011-2012)

Capital and OM Cost Financial Requirement for
Strengthening the National Ambient Air Quality
Network

• The fund requirement for additional parameters
  for two years Rs. 4329.45 Lacs.
• The Financial Year wise break up is as below
• Financial Year 2010-2011 Rs. 2139.5 Lacs
• Financial Year 2011-2012 Rs. 2189.95 Lacs

Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Stations for Non- Attainment Cities

• Based on Air Quality data, 72 cities are non
  attainment cities, where the prescribed National
  Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are in
  exceedence
• As per the directions of Honble Supreme Court
  setting up of CAAQMS in 16 cities on 5050 cost
  sharing basis
• Nine stations one each at Hyderabad, Mumbai,
  Pune, Solapur, Bangalore, Agra, Kanpur Varanasi
  Ahmedabad are in operation.
• Existing Kolkata station of WBPCB is upgraded.
• CAAQMS at Jodhpur be commissioned by December
  2010
• Remaining stations at various stages of
  tendering
• CPCB spent Rs. 600 Lacs for CAAQMS project in 16
  cities on 5050 cost sharing basis.

Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Station/Network.

• Private Participation in the Management of CAAQMS
• Model- IOperation Contract - All 12 stations
• (Cities covered Delhi, Lucknow, Bangalore
  Chennai)
• All are connected to Central Management units at
  CPCB Head Office, Delhi
• (Expenditure incurred 11.25 crore)
• Model-II Build Own Operate (BOO) Contract
• (Cities covered Ahmedabad Mumbai)
• Under implementation

9
Proposed expansion of CAAQMS in other Non
Attainment Cities Estimated cost - CAAQMS

• Each station costs Rs. 110.00 Lacs
• Of 72 Non Attainment cities, In 23 cities ongoing
  projects.
• Estimated Capital cost for remaining 49cities
  will be 49X110 LacsRs. 5390 Lacs
• 12 SPCBs/PCCs proposed for Continuous Ambient Air
  Quality Monitoring Stations (CAAQMS) for 33
  cities. The Capital cost for 33 CAAQMS
  installations will be Rs. 3630 Lacs. (on 5050
  cost sharing basis )
• The annual Operation Maintenance cost of each
  station will be borne by the respective
  SPCBs/PCCs
• The monitoring data of the CAAQMS will be
  available at SPCBs/ PCCs and CPCB website.

10
Issues on Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

• To achieve 700 stations as specified in XIth Five
  year plan, SPCBs to identify sites/parameters
  and the additional budget requirement
• In the next five years plan (12th FY plan). the
  SPCBs/ PCCs may specify the location and cost
  requirement on 5050 sharing basis
• Calibrations of equipments/instruments
• Training of manpower following quality
  assurance/quality control guidelines,
• following standardized methods, locating stations
  as per guidelines
• Number of online stations to be established at
  residential and industrial sites
• Data and Payment Certificates gaps The ambient
  air quality data as well as payment certificates
  must be sent timely
• For CAAQMS installed and in operation in, a
  standardized data transfer/processing system
  required for free flow of information.
