Assessing influence of some meteorological parameters on airborne particulate matters in the Himalayan hill-station of Darjeeling - A preliminary assessment

Abstract

In this article influence of sew atmospheric parameters on the level of RPM concentration in hill station of Darjeeling have been assessed. We performed correlation studies among RSPM concentration and selected atmospheric parameters. We also performed stepwise multiple regression analysis taking RSPM concentration as dependent variable to develop statistical model. We analyzed the data taken for an entire year first as a whole, and then season wise.
