About CESE IIT Bombay The Centre for Environmental Science and Engineering (CESE) at IIT Bombay was established in 1985. Prior to this, an ‘Environmental Science and Engineering Group’ comprising of faculty members from various allied disciplines existed on campus since 1977. CESE currently has a dedicated group of ten faculty members with multidisciplinary background and interests. The graduate programme offered by this Centre prepares individuals for professions such as Engineers and Scientists in Environmental Quality & Pollution Control.The Centre offers wide professional expertise and actively pursues sponsored research, consultancy and technical services. CESE is also very active in manpower development and regularly organizes tailor-made workshops and training programmes. Thus, the Centre has established strong links with leading industries, institutions and national and international agencies.

About the IL&FS Academy of Applied DevelopmentIL&FS Academy of Applied Development (IAAD) was established in 2012 by Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Limited (IL&FS), a premier infrastructure project development and financing institution in India. IAAD serves as a think tank, a capacity builder and facilitator to address the challenges and opportunities that are emerging in the area of sustainable development. IAAD leverages on the enormous experience of IL&FS in Public Private Partnership (PPP) and use it to provide solutions for sustainable development in line with the national agenda. Areas of interest of IAAD cut across various social and infrastructure sectors like roads, ports, cities, water, energy, health, waste management, education etc. While addressing these sectors, IAAD focuses on innovations that will help promote entrepreneurships, improve livelihoods and the resource security. IAAD has established nodes of engagement at various national and intenational institutions. IIT Bombay and IAAD signed up a MoU in 2013.

About Washington University in St. Louis In 2006, Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) became the first university in the world to create a Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering (EECE). This department was brought to life by bringing together faculty involved in the interdisciplinary environment engineering science graduate programme and the Department of Chemical Engineering.The department builds upon a long, established tradition of excellence and cooperation among many different facets of the university to bring a truly interdisciplinary approach to advancing basic science through engineering practice. The department’s work is focused on contributing to solutions for the energy and environmental challenges around the world. IIT Bombay and WUTSTL are members of the McDonnel Academy Global Energy and Environment Partnership which is a consortium of 28 universities and corporate partners working together in energy, environmental and sustainability research, education and operations.

About NEERIThe National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur was established in 1958 as Central Public Health Engineering Research Institute (CPHERI) when environmental concerns were limited to human health with a focus on water supply, sewage disposal, communicable diseases and to some extent on industrial pollution and occupational diseases. The chemical and biological solutions to address these problems were simple, though challenging. However, slowly world wide public awareness on the contamination of environment from regional to global level started receiving attention from 1970. Shrimati Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, rechristened the institute as National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) in 1974.NEERI is devoted to research and innovations in environmental science and engineering besides solving a range of problems posed by industry, government and public. It is a constituent of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi.

Background

Anthropogenic air pollution is caused by variety of reasons like industrial and vehicular emissions, household activities, open burning of wastes and residues etc. Several industrial townships and urban areas in India today do not meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) stipulated by CPCB (2010). This situation necessitates systematic monitoring of both stack emissions as well as ambient air quality. For several years in India, air pollution monitoring has been practiced following manual methods such as high volume samplers and stack monitoring kits. With the advent of automated instruments, however, and given the sensitivity of the pollution related issues (such as health impacts including, risks due to transient pollution release, etc.), both regulators and industries have been operating automated air pollution monitors. These instruments provide high time resolution data that can be efficiently stored, transmitted and processed for effective interpretation and decision making. Many a times, installation of Automated Air Pollution Monitors (AAPM) is stipulated as a condition for environmental clearance. Currently, the Air Quality Management (AQM) community in India is on a learning curve for selection, installation, calibration, operation and maintenance of AAPMs. In most instances, AAPMs are imported and relatively low capacity exists towards indigenous production and/or addressing operational issues. There have been practically no instances where the subject of AAPMs is discussed at a national level across key stakeholders such as regulators, industries, AAPM providers, researchers and academicians.MoEF, CPCB and State pollution control boards of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have proposed a pilot scheme of emissions trading to be launched in mid of 2014. This scheme is heavily dependent on the installation and sound operation of AAPMs. Among the pollutants, Particulate Matter (PM) has been identified as the most significant pollutant. In this perspective, raising awareness on AAPM (especially on the State of the Art), imparting improved understanding and sharing of international experiences becomes very critical.Investments and operational costs of AAPMs are high. Operation of AAPMs requires expertise for calibration, maintenance, knowledge and tools for data analysis for interpretation and decision making. Today, much of the data collected through AAPMs is not analyzed and is rather simply stored and submitted to the regulator. This data is not connected to air quality models or other data analysis software tailored to support decision making especially for regional and urban air quality management. Here, sharing of case studies will be useful and should lead to a series of pilot demonstration projects. Given the importance of AAPMs, Center for Environmental Sciences and Engineering (CESE) of IIT Bombay and IL&FS Academy of Applied Development (IAAD) have organized a two-day workshop. An expert from Washington University in St Louis who has nearly three decades of experience on AAPMs will be the principal faculty. The workshop will discuss both ambient and source air pollution monitoring and will consist of lectures, poster presentations, case studies, panel discussion and display of some of the AAPMs. Regulators such as State Pollution Control Boards of Maharashtra and Gujarat have extended their support for this workshop.
