Deepak Malik, Mukesh Saxena, Niraj Sharma

Abstract


Gurgaon city a satellite town in NCR is also facing air pollution problem due to rapid urbanization. The deterioration of urban air in arterial streets due to vehicular traffic exhaust and its interaction with the environment is causing a perceivable discomfort in daily life.
