Hi everyone..

As per CPCB, Ambient Air Quality Standards in India should be as follows;

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), 
µg/m3
Annual*
24 hours**
50 8020 80
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), 
µg/m3

Particulate Matter (size less than 10 µm) or PM10 µg/m3Annual*

Nickel (Ni),

This is for ambient air quality limit for different pollutants.

Suppose if a stack is emitting pollutants, what will be the maximum amount, they can emit?

Is there any standard limit for stack emission level for different pollutants?

Can anyone please help me..
