A field study was conducted to evaluate the impact of ambient ozone on mustard (Brassica campestris L. var. Kranti) plants grown under recommended and 1.5 times recommended NPK doses at a rural site of India using filtered (FCs) and non-filtered open top chambers (NFCs).

In this paper an attempt has been made to undertake performance evaluation of the two well-known regulatory models, AERMOD (07026) and ADMS-Urban (2.2) for a tropical city such as Delhi. The model is applied to estimate ambient air concentrations of SO2 and NO2 for the years 2000 and 2004 over seven sites in Delhi. Both model evaluation and inter-comparison is performed.
