1. The Noise level values monitored on pre Deepawali day (8/1107) during the day time indicates exceeding the values higher side in comparison to prescribed limit. The Locations were values found exceeding the limits are Survey Chock 74.72 dB(A), Clock Tower 71.7 dB(A), Doon Hospital 62.5 dB(A), Prince Chawak 78.9 dB(A), Saharanpur Chawak 80.4 dB(A) and ISBT 76.0 dB(A). The Noise level values at CMI Chawak and Rispana brige indicates slightly higher side 64.0 dB(A) and 56.8 dB(A) respectively
2. On Deepawali (09.11.2007), the Noise level values at Doon Hospital increases up to 74.2 dB(A) in compare to value 62.5 dB(A) on pre Deepawali day. The Noise level values at other location indicates almost lower then noise level value obtained on pre Deepawali day.
3. The noise level values on 10.11.07 post Deepawali indicates less value in compression to pre Deepawali day and Deepawali day, but all values obtained at all locations are exceeding the values prescribed for noise level

1. The ambient air quality monitoring result at Clock Tower on pre Dipawali day indicates that the gaseous values (Sulphur Di Oxide and Oxide of Nitrogen)are lesser (SO2 35.0 µg/m3 & NO2 43.8 µg/m3 )then prescribed limit 80 given in Ambient Air Quality Standards, but the values of Suspended Particulate Matter indicates higher values (441.8 µg/m3) which is double to the National Ambient Air Quality standards (200 µg/m3).
2. The values obtained on Deepawali day also indicates that the gaseous values are lesser ( SO2 38.5 µg/m3 & NO2 43.8 µg/m3)than the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (80 µg/m3). The Suspended Particulate Matter values indicates (538.8 µg/m3) which is higher than limit and value is quite higher than value obtained on pre Deepawali day.
3. The values obtained on 10/11/07 post Deepawali day also indicates that the gaseous values are lesser ( SO2 31.5 µg/m3 & NO2 41.4 µg/m3)than the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (80 µg/m3). The Suspended Particulate Matter values also indicates (439.9 µg/m3) which is higher than limit and value is almost equal to value obtained on pre Deepawali day.
