The present study deals with the assessment of ambient air quality with respect to respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM or PM10 <10
m) and trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Cd, Mn and Pb) concentrations in RSPM at five locations of Renukoot, an industrial area of Eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Urban populations are exposed to a high level of fine and ultrafine particles from motor vehicle emissions which affect human health.
