Clean air is the basic requirement for survival of life on earth. But due to urbanization and industrialization,the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere has been increased. Amongst major sources of pollution, the main contributorfor increment is the vehicular pollution which accounts about 70% of the total air pollution. There is a substantialgrowth in number of vehicles in the past years which increased the pollution. For determining the controlling measuresto reduce the air pollution especially at highly impacted vehicle traffic crossings, the monitoring of ambient air qualitybecomes essential. Such monitoring was conducted during peak hours at Akota- Dandia bazar crossing which connectshighly populated urban areas of Vadodara city. The value of PPM10 was found higher than the permissible limit. Toremedy this, a filter unit is developed and proposed which has been observed reducing the pollutant load considerably.
