INTRODUCTION The Central India Covers the seven states of our country, it has long industrial development and also has deep cultural heritage. Madhya Pradesh literally means' central province' and is located in the geographic heart of India, between latitude 21.2 0 N-26.87 0 N and longitude 74 0 02'82 0 49'E. Madhya Pradesh is the second largest state in the country by area. It borders the state of Uttar Pradesh to the north-east, Chhattisgarh to the southeast, Maharashtra to the south, Gujarat to the west and Rajasthan to the North West. According to diffuse unsystematic residential, urban and industrial structure of this area the proposed research project is intended to analyzing and mapping of diffuse chemical pollution in central India. Air pollution is a major problem in developed and developing countries. It causes respiratory diseases and chronic illness [1] and affects the environment [2-3]. Both human activities and natural environmental processes are sources of air pollution. Particulate matter and gaseous pollutant emission from industries and auto exhausts are responsible for rising discomfort, increasing airway diseases and deterioration of artistic and cultural patrimony in urban centers. The urban population is exposed to high levels of air pollution including metals as well as fine and ultrafine particles [4] from the vehicular emission [5] . Every city has its own characteristics which becomes the progress, if not checked poses risk to environment and health of the people. In recent times there has been significant development activity in terms of industrialization and urbanization in almost all cities in Central India. Different industrial activities degrades various environmental components like air, soil, water and vegetation [6-10] .The chemical composition of the atmosphere is being altered by the addition of gases, particulate matter and volatile substances, which may be toxic to living beings. Cement industry is a potential anthropogenic source of air pollution. It is a major contributor to dust, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and carbon monoxide (CO) in metropolitan areas. Furthermore, it contributes about 5% of the global CO2, the famous greenhouse gas. In cement industries, dust is emitted from stock piles, quarrying, and transportation of raw materials, kilns operation, clinker cooling and milling. Stone Crushing industry is an important industrial sector in the country engaged in producing crushed stone of various sizes depending upon the requirement which acts as raw material for various construction activities, such as concentration of roads, highways bridges, building, canals, etc. it was found that there were 12,000 stone crusher units approximately in India [11] . Present study is aim to evaluated the quality of ambient air due to SO2. NOx and SPM .The ill effects of these air pollutants on human health such as asthma, acute respiratory diseases, eye irritation, gastrointestinal diseases, dental diseases, skin diseases, blood pressure diseases and headache due to pollution are well documented. The amount of different pollutants is compared with the standard limits recommended by Central Pollution Control Board. Proper planning, management and monitoring of the pollution status depend on the availability of accurate information. The World health organization estimates that air pollution contributes to approximately 800000 death and 4.6 million lost life year's annually [11]. International Journal of Academic and Applied Research (IJAAR) ISSN: 2000-005X Vol. 2 Issue 2, February – 2018, Pages: 12-24 http://www.ijeais.org/ijaar 13 2. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We assume Madhya Pradesh as a central India (study area) which is divided in to two zones (a) East Zone of Central India (b) West Zones of Central India. In the present study we are intended to find out the diffuse chemical pollution in Central India on the basis of an industrial area, residential area and urban area of atmospheric air. We have designed twenty sampling stations district for this study in east zones i.e. Rewa, Satna, Sidhi, Singrauli, Shahdol, Umaria, Katni, Panna, Chhatarpur, Jabalpur, Mandala, Dindori, Siwani, Chhindwara, Narsinghpur, Hosangabad, Betul, Damoh, Sagar, Bhopal and twenty district in west zone i,e. Gawaliar, Shivpuri, Ashok Nagar, Datiya, Muraina, Bhind, Guna, Tikamgarh, Vidisha, Raisen, Sihora, Rajgarh, Sajapur, Dewash,Ujjain, Ratlam, Indore, Khandawa, Burhanpur and Harda of Central India. Air sampling is done as per the CPCB [12] guideline for manual sampling and analysis. Eighty air samples were collected for seasonally i.e. (winter, summer and Monsoon). Sampling sites were selected to represent industrial area and residential area as per NAAQS1994 [13] . Sulphur dioxide from air is absorbed in a solution of potassium tetrachloromercurate (TCM). Air is bubbled in 30ml of absorbing solution (TCM) in an impinger for 4hr at the flow rate of 1l/min. Similarly ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is collected by bubbling air through a solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium arsenite. Monitored parameters were suspended particulate matter (SPM), Gaseous SO2 and NOx; HVS (APM46) was used for air sampling and analyzed as per standard methods. The samples collected and transported to the laboratory. SO2 and NOx concentration are calculated by measuring absorbance through spectrophotometer. The locations of sampling stations are shown in table-1.2 and fig-1.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION The air samples were analyzed some parameters like, Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Suspended Particulate matter (SPM). The average physicochemical characteristics of the ambient air quality data of the study area were shown in table-3 and table4.Comparative Sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and Suspended particulates Matter (SPM) profiles of two different Zone of central India are shown in figure2, 3and figure-4. Mapping of the data is represented the condition of the pollution in different sampling location of the study area is depicted in figure-5 to 10. Sulphur Dioxide (SO2): The gas irritates airways and eyes and is known to cause longer-term heart diseases, other cardiovascular ailments and bronchitis. It also readily causes shortness of breath and coughing amongst asthma sufferers. SO2 is also a major contributor to acid rain, which damage the environment and upset ecosystems [14] .In the present study Sulphur dioxide concentration ranged from 1.0 μg/m 3 to 17.0μg/m 3 .The highest value of 17.0 μg/m 3 was found at sampling location I20 (Near Manddeep Industrial Area Bhopal), while the lowest value 1.0 μg/m 3 was observed at location R12 (Dindori Near Mainpost office) as shown in table-3 and table-4. All the results were below the permissible limit set by central pollution control board (2)as 80 μg/m 3 . [15] studied ambient air quality status of Jaipur city, Rajasthan India, found the SO2 concentration in range of 5.7 μg/m 3 to 24.1 μg/m 3 [ . 16] studied ambient air quality status in Uttarakhand , India: a case study of Haridwar and Dheradun using air quality index, observed the concentration of SO2 ranged between 8.64 μg/m 3 to 12.30 μg/m 3 . [17] carried out the effect of urbanization on air quality in district Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh (India), reported the concentration of SO2 varied between 6.32 to 12.30 μg/cu-m .[18] carried out the status of ambient air quality at selected sites in Chennai, reported the SO2 concentration in the range of 13.0 μg/m 3 to 33.0 μg/m 3 . High value of SO2 may be attributed to congested traffic, garbage burning at near nearby highways and residential areas. Similar observation were observed and it was reported that high value of SO2 may be likely due to heavy traffic, load, stationery fuel combustion, other environmental conditions may also result buildup of high SO2 concentration in the ambient air. The air and the resultant air quality can be attributed to emission from transportation, Industrial and domestic activities. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): It causes severe respiratory problems, especially in children. When combined with water, it forms nitric acid and other toxic nitrates. NO2 is also a main component in the formation of ozone at the surface level. The gas irritates the lungs and has been known to lower the immune system. A nitrogen oxide is a group of different gases mode up of different levels of oxygen and nitrogen. Two of the most common nitrogen oxides are Nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide. Nox is given off in many forms, such as smog or particles. Nox is formed when certain fuels (oil, gas and coal) are burned at a high temperature, such as combustion. Nox, plus other ground level ozone, can cause other major respiratory problems in high levels [19] . The nitrogen dioxide value range to be 1.0 μg/m 3 to 43.0 μg/m 3 .The highest NOx was detected (43.0 μg/m 3 ) at sampling location I2 (Near Birla Cement plant Satna) while lowest value was found (1.0 μg/m 3 )at sampling location I32 (Shivpuri Near Kattha Factory) as given in table-4. All the sampling locations of NO2 were found to be lower than the permissible limit (NAAQS,30 μg/m 3 ) except two location I1(34.6 μg/m 3 ) and I2 (43.5 μg/m 3 ) of the study area. [20] studied quantifying the cement air pollution related human health diseases in maihar city, observed the NO2 concentrations varied between 21.75 μg/m 3 to 48.75 μg/m 3 . [21] studied the assessment of air pollution emission from wonder cement ltd., Nimbahera, reported the NO2 concentration ranged from 15.5 μg/m 3 to 22.2 μg/m 3 . [22] worked on status of ambient air quality at Jabalpur cityA case study is reported the value of NO2 ranged between 16.3 μg/m 3 to 52.0 μg/m 3 . 2 Suspended Particulate Matter: [23] worked on air pollution and respiratory diseases in children. They found that acute exposure to air pollution, specifically due to dust was associated with increased respiratory systems and this might decrease lung function in children. In the presented study, suspended particulate matter concentration in the ambient air of the study area was found varied from 59.0 μg/m 3 to 426.0 μg/m 3 The maximum concentration of suspended particulate matter 426.0 μg/m 3 was observed the location I25 (Muraina,Near Banmaor Cement plant). Minimum concentration of SPM was Found at sampling stationR24 ( Datia near metal industries Industrial area Datia) are shown in table-3 and table-4.The value of SPM at sampling stations R10 (222.33), R39 (211.0), I1 (248.3), I5 (285.0), I8 (235.0), I9 (201.66), I11 (220.0), I21 (250.6), I25 (426.0), I27 (211.33), I30 (236.6), I31 (223.6) and I37 (220.3) μg/m 3 are higher than the permissible limit prescribed by central pollution control board, New Delhi as 200 μg/m 3 . [24] studied air quality status and its effect on plants proximate to lime kilns of maihar city, reported the air ambient SPM concentrations are range from 377.6 μg/m 3 to 710.4 μg/m 3 . [25] studied Seasonal concentrations of SPM, SO2 and NOx in the ambint air at various sampling sites of JK white cement plant Gotan, (Rajasthan) found the SPM concentration ranged between 351.6 μg/m 3 to 939.5 μg/m 3 . [26] studied the Statistics of ambient air quality at Bondamunda of Rurekela Industrial complex have reported International Journal of Academic and Applied Research (IJAAR) ISSN: 2000-005X Vol. 2 Issue 2, February – 2018, Pages: 12-24 http://www.ijeais.org/ijaar 16 maximum SPM concentration as 742.0 μg/m 3 . [27] Worked on a Study of chemical turbulence in ambient air quality in Satna (M.P.) reported the SPM concentration maximum (317.0μg/m 3 ) in Near Prism Cement Plant Satna while minimum (82.8 μg/m 3 ) in Pnni lal chauk Satna.

CONCLUSIONS In the present study Ambient air samples were collected from Residential area, urban area and industrial area of two different zone of central India, the sulphur dioxide (SO2) ranged between 1.0 μg/m 3 to17.0 μg/m 3 , nitrogen dioxide (NO2) 1.0 μg/m 3 to 43.0 μg/m 3 and Suspended particulate matter 59.0 to 426.0. The value of SPM at sampling location R10, R39, I1, I5 , I8 , I9 , I11, I21, I25, I27 , I30 , I31 and I37 are exceeded the permissible limit prescribed by central pollution control board, New Delhi as 200 μg/m 3 . All the sampling locations of NO2 were found to be below the permissible limit (NAAQS, 30μg/m 3 ) except two locations I1 and I2 of the three different areas of central India. All the results of sulphur dioxide were found within the range of permissible limit prescribed by central pollution control board, New Delhi, India. The air pollutants are occurred due to emission from transportation, industrial and other anthropogenic activities. The human populations of some selected sampling locations were surveyed for prevalence of various diseases such respiratory diseases, eye diseases, skin diseases and other diseases. Result indicated maximum people of some sampling locations of study area suffering from respiratory diseases, blood pressure and allergic problems compare to other health problems. It may, thus regulations and adoption of adequate pollution control measures is need of the hour. Regular monitoring for adequacy of pollution control equipments installed at various industries should be undertaken to check emission from industrial processes. 6.
