Study on Air quality in the near field of MMA JauharMarg, JamiaUniversity Campus, New Delhihas been carried out by using airmonitoring data and traffic volume data which is collectedmanually up to 8 hrs on the MMA JauharMarg for 3 consecutive working days i.e 07.10.2014 to 09.10.2014. Concentration of pollutants ispredicted by air quality prediction model i.e CALINE-4/2.1 model.The main objective of this study is to find out air pollutants (CO, SOx, NOx, & PM10) concentration at near field of MMA JauharMarg, Jamia University Campus. Traffic volume passing in a day (8 hrs) is used for this purpose.The air quality prediction modelis used to predict CO concentration by using collected data of transported vehicles. Air qualitymonitoring data is collected through airsampler upto 8 hrs for verification of predicted results of caline-4 model. The monitored value of CO is 1.4 mg/m3(maximum) between 1000 hrs.-1100 hrs. and 0.85 mg/m3 (Min) between 1400 hrs to 1500 hrs. 8 hrs monitored average concentration of CO is 1.14 mg/m3.The predicted value from Caline-4 model indicates that the CO concentration near the receptor location is1.5mg/m3and 200 meter away from receptor is 0.75mg/m3.
