Environmental Assessment Study Before and After the Proposed Urban Conservation and Tourism Development Project of Area around the World Heritage Site, Taj Mahal, Agra
The research goal was to generate a design brief through a participatory process between the researchers and Taj Gunj residents, traders (and their associations), government agencies (U.P. Tourism, Agra Development Authority and ASI). The research methodology included holding workshops with the stakeholders to understand their aspirations and create a dialogue towards a sustainable plan. This research aims to understand the social, cultural and physical workings of Taj Ganj and to frame recommendations towards planning for an improved visitor experience that benefits local community and protects the living cultural heritage of Taj Ganj |

Characterization of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons in fugitive of PM10 emissions from an integrated iron and steel plant
Fugitive emissions of PM10 (particles <10μm in diameter) and associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were monitored in the vicinity of coking unit, sintering unit, blast furnace and steel manufacturing unit in an integrated iron and steel plant situated in India. Concentrations of PM10, PM10-bound total PAHs, benzo (a) pyrene, carcinogenic PAHs and combustion PAHs were found to be highest around the sintering unit. Concentrations of 3-ring and 4-ring PAHs were recorded to be highest in the coking unit whereas 5-and 6-ring PAHs were found to be highest in other units. The following indicatory PAHs were identified: indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene, dibenzo (a,h) anthracene, benzo (k) fluoranthene in blast furnace unit; indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene, dibenzo (a,h) anthracene, chrysene in sintering unit; Anthracene, fluoranthene, chrysene in coking unit and acenaphthene, fluoranthene, fluorene in steel making unit. Total-BaP-TEQ (Total BaP toxic equivalent quotient) and BaP-MEQ (Total BaP mutagenic equivalent quotient) concentration levels ranged from 2.4 to 231.7ng/m(3) and 1.9 to 175.8ng/m(3), respectively. BaP and DbA (dibenzo (a,h) anthracene) contribution to total-BaP-TEQ was found to be the highest |
