The major objectives of this study are: assessment of air pollution concentrations at different locations with varying number of anthropogenic sources of pollution; to study the temporal and diurnal variation in pollutants concentration along with traffic activities; to assess the status of air pollution to adjudge the effectiveness of air pollution control strategies and long term management of air pollution; and to formulate further preventive and control measures for abatement of air pollution.

Building an effective air quality management system (AQMS) requires a process of continual improvement, and the source apportionment techniques described in this report can contribute in a cost effective manner to improving existing systems or

This handbook is based on the results an EU Asia Pro Eco co-funded project "CURB-AIR: CDM and urban air pollution: partnerships enhancing synergies in urban air and health in Kyoto mechanisms'. The CURB-AIR project intends to pave the way for projects that both improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gases emissions. The handbook aims to be a guide for policymakers, civil servants and anyone who is interested in the issue of CDM, urban air pollution and climate change.
