SAFETY MEASURES The other safety measures to be followed during the construction period
by Project Manager/Deputy Project Manager
That no staff should go to the project site without wearing helmets
and safety shoes
Wearing helmets need to be mandatory for visitors
Safety net should be used at risky areas
That access to and from site should clear
That proper signboards should be available about safety and safe
exit points
All water tanks at site should be properly covered for further use.
TESTING Ambient Air Quality The ambient air quality monitoring was conducted in May 2015.
Monitoring was carried out at two stations for 7 days. The guidelines for
selections of ambient air monitoring stations as given in IS – 5182 part
14, were followed. These guidelines state that, “when the objective of air
sampling is to identify the contribution from specific sources of pollution,
the sampling locations should be located in upwind and the downwind of
Element One, Commercial Project, Sector 47 & 49, Gurgaon
8
such sources”. The location of air quality monitoring stations should
satisfy the following conditions:
1. The site should be representative of the area selected;
2. The station should be set up and operated so as to yield data that
can be compared with those from stations within the network
Sampling Stations:
Station A-1: Center of Block – B
Station A-2: Near batching plant, Block – B
Duration of Sampling
Duration : 7 days during May 2015
Period : Sampling was done 24 hourly continuous of
SPM/RSPM and 8 hourly for gaseous parameters.
Sampling Procedure
Time averaged in – site sampling was adopted by passing a known
volume of air through a trap, and a collecting medium (filter paper and
bubbler). Repairable Dust Sampler was used for the purpose.
This procedure was adopted because there are no short-term variations
and low concentration of gaseous pollutants was expected.

Analytical methods followed for ambient air quality monitoring
(i) Suspended Particular Matter (SPM):
The samples for SPM were collected on GF/A Filter paper by Respirable
Dust Sampler (RDS), operated at maximum rate of 1.5 cu.m./min. and
concentration were determined gravimetrically on 24 hrs basis.
(ii) Sulphur dioxide (SO2):
Sulphur dioxide collection was done by aspirating a measured volume of
air through a dilute acidified solution of hydrogen peroxide. For analysis,
TCM method was followed (Ref. Chapter 700, Standard Method of Air
Sampling and Analysis, 2nd edition, APHA, 1977).
(iii) Nitrogen Oxides (IS: 5182; Part – VI – 1975 ):
Nitrogen oxides were estimated by bubbling air through 0.1 N Sodium
hydroxide solution and measured as nitrate through spectrophotometer
at 540 nm.
Results
Air quality is a complex and dynamic characteristic of any area. Most of
the areas in Gurgaon and adjoining locations reel under air pollution and
construction activity is the major contributor of pollutants. The climatic
conditions and high rise buildings aid and abet their dispersion in the
adjoining areas. The ambient air quality results are summarized in
following tables:

The results show that the SPM level near to the batching plant of Block –
B is higher than the other location due to transportation of raw material to
the batching plant. When assessed air quality is compared to the
prescribed standards, it was observed that SPM and RSPM values were
very near to the standards. The higher values of SPM & RSPM are not
solely contributed by the construction activities at this particular site but
also by the nearby construction activities. The results confirm that the
particulate load generated by traffic and construction activities remain as
aerosol for longer period of time. The smaller the particulate, larger is the
time it stays in suspension (RSPM). The detailed results indicate that
night-time ambient air was usually better than that of morning and
afternoon due to lesser traffic density and least construction activity.
Noise Level
Noise Measurement Locations: The locations selected for the noise
monitoring were as follows:
Station N-1 : Center of Block - B
Station N-2 : Near batching plant, Block - B
Methodology:
At each station noise level was monitored by noise meter for 24-hours
simultaneously. For each measurement, dB (A) readings were taken for
every 15 minutes to get Ld, Ln and Ldn.

Results
Results are summarized in following table. The ambient noise level at the
center of the Block – B is relatively lower than the location near to the
batching plant, Block – B. During the day time, noise level at the center
and near the batching plant were 64.22 dB(A) and 72.85 dB(A)
respectively. The standards for commercial areas is ~ 65 dB (A). During
night noise level at the same locations were 48.06 dB(A) and 42.26
dB(A) respectively which are lower than the night-time noise standards of
55 dB(A).
