Air Quality Solutions For Ready-Mix Concrete Plants
A complete solution for air quality monitoring and data display at RMC Plants.
Major Air Pollutants
Emissions from RMC plants, including the burning of fossil fuels, material transportation, and heavy gear operation, release pollutants that can harm human health with respiratory difficulties, cardiovascular disease, cancer risks, and cause environmental damage like acid rain and smog. Monitoring and controlling these emissions is vital to minimize their impact on both the environment and human well-being.
PM
Fossil fuels, material transport, and heavy machinery contribute to PM emissions.
Noise
Machinery on the sites creates noise that can cause ear injury and disturbance.
CO
Heavy machinery operation and transportation of equipment contribute to emissions.
VOCs
Released from the storage and handling of solvents, fuels, and certain chemical additives
SOx
Sulfur-containing fuels and raw materials contribute to emissions.
NOx
Oxides of Nitrogen are released from the burning of fuel and natural gas.
SOx
Exposure to SOx can cause irritation in the eyes
and respiratory tract, and aggravate conditions
like asthma, bronchitis, etc.
Noise
Excessive noise can lead to hearing loss,
sleep disturbances, high blood pressure,
headaches, and other various discomforts.
NOx
Nitrogen oxide can cause irritation in the eyes,
nose, and throat. Symptoms may involve cough,
shortness of breath, nausea, etc.
PM
Particulate matter (PM) pollution from RMC plants
can cause respiratory disorders, heart disease,
and other health problems.
CO
Headaches, nausea, dizziness, and even death can
happen when exposed to CO pollution from RMC plants
at high concentrations.
MPCB Guidelines RMC Plants
Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, in consultation with the State Government, has issued guidelines for the siting criteria of Ready Mix Concrete Plants (RMC) in the state of Maharashtra, as well as environmental norms to be enforced on RMCs to implement additional control measures to reduce pollution and protect public health in surrounding areas.
Maharashtra Pollution Control Self Assessment
As per the MPCB, the authority shall comply with the provisions under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, and the following mentioned guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Air Quality Monitoring Solutions for RMC Plants
Have questions? We’re here to help.
– Air quality monitoring is crucial at RMC sites to ensure that the emissions from the plants do not cause harmful impacts on public health and the environment.
– Common pollutants monitored at RMC sites include particulate matter (PM), NOx, CO, and SOx.
– Monitoring methods can vary, but commonly used techniques include continuous ambient air quality monitoring stations (CAAQMS), and real-time monitoring instruments.
– Typically, the RMC plant operators are responsible for conducting air quality monitoring at their sites. However, regulatory agencies may also conduct periodic inspections and monitoring to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
– Non-compliance with air quality standards at RMC sites can lead to regulatory action such as fines, shutdowns, or legal action. Additionally, non-compliance can also lead to negative impacts on public health and the environment.
– Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAAQMS) are commonly used for air quality monitoring at RMC sites. These systems are capable of measuring various pollutants in real-time and can be customized based on specific monitoring requirements.
– Air quality monitoring at RMC sites should be conducted continuously to ensure that the levels of pollutants are within acceptable limits. The frequency of monitoring may vary depending on local regulations and monitoring requirements.
