Expected health risk out of black carbon and particulate matter in the indoor environment of an industrial cluster of chandigarh in India.

ABSTRACT: The global increase in industrialization and its attendant exponential air pollution has posed a significant hazard to the indoor pollution levels of cities and the associated health risks. This study evaluated the health effects of air pollutants discovered inside the bottling industries in Chandigarh cluster in India. PM10, PM2.5, PM1, and black carbon concentrations in the post-monsoon season were monitored, and associated health implications and lung disease were estimated. A positive correlation is established between PM in indoor and outdoor environments. Maximum concentrations for PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 were recorded as 276.8 µg/m3, 97.7 µg/m3 and 66.5 µg/m3 (for indoor) respectively, which are approximately 15 and 6 times higher than their (PM10 and PM2.5) allowable concentrations se
