“…In the present study, the retention time of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn was estimated by adopting the technology policy unit (TPU) model proposed by the University of Aston in Birmingham for determining lead transport within a standard man Evoy (1980), the rate of elimination of any metal from blood is given by The factor F 1i FVA i gives the daily uptake of metal i by blood from that portion of air particles that are ejected from the lung and, subsequently, swallowed. F 1i G i represents the daily uptake of metal i from the diet.…”

Concentrations of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn have been determined by using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) in air particulates, diet, and children's blood residing at different locations of Tirupati. The reliability of the procedure for estimation of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in environmental and biological samples by DPASV technique was checked by analyzing various standard reference materials. The observed daily intake of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn by children varies from 0.1014 to 0.3264, 0.0204 to 0.0372, 0.1953 to 0.3310, and 76.1902 to 78.3720 mg day 21 through inhalation, and 17.53 to 20.91, 1.92 to 2.32, 954.92 to 1264.70, and 5750.14 to 6774.56 mg day 21 through dietary intake, respectively. Retention times of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in children's blood are estimated by using levels of these metals in air particulates and by duplicating diet and blood of children. The observed average retention times for Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn are 17.32, 7.85, 2.12, and 1.92 days, respectively.

Air pollution has significant effects on exacerbation of asthma, allergy and other respiratory diseases. Like many other magacities in the world the ambient air quality of Kolkata is also being deteriorated day by day. Automobile exhausts and certain industrial pollutants produce O(3) by photochemical reactions. The particulate matter, particularly less than 10 microm in size, can pass through the natural protective mechanism of human respiratory system and plays an important role in genesis and augmentation of allergic disorders. Sources of air pollution in the area and the unique problem arising out of the emission from the vehicles, industries, etc. have been described. Ambient air quality was monitored along with micrometeorological data and the results are discussed. The status of air pollution in the area has been evaluated and a questionnaire survey was conducted to estimate the allergic symptoms and exposure to assess the respiratory disorders. The data are analysed to evaluate the critical situation arising out of the emission of air pollutants and the impact on human health due to respirable diseases (RDs) to middle class sub-population (activity-wise) in the area are assessed. A strategic air quality management plan has been proposed. For the mitigation of air pollution problems in the city, the different measures to be adopted to maintain the balance between sustainable development and environmental management have been discussed.
