Air is one of the vital components of environmental supporting life system of well kinds of living things in the biosphere. Quality of the air is being gradually deteriorated by the anthropogenic activities that poses a serious health hazard and also leads to global warming and climate change. In this thesis, it is proposed to monitor the present ambient air quality parameters in Chidambaram town such as SPM and gaseous pollutants NO2, SO2, during time of Deepavali festival at Muthiah Nagar and Pachaiyappan school station. . Air samples to be collected with the help of High Volume Air Sampler with gaseous sampling attachment (Envirotech APM 430). Eight hours sampling was carried out from 7.30 pm to 3.30 am for three days. The concentration value of SPM is 214.32 µg/m3. The average concentration of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is 215.17 µg/m3. The average concentration of Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is 23.14 µg/m3. Heavy burning of fossil fuel for energy production and automobiles are the main sources such air pollutants regularly emitted into atmosphere.

High volume sampler, Nitrogen dioxide, Sulphur dioxide, Suspended Particle Matter.
