Summary

IS 5182 is a multi-part standard for ambient air quality and stack emission monitoring. Referenced by CPCB/SPCB for all air quality monitoring in India. Part 12 (PM10/PM2.5) is the most commonly used for construction site air quality compliance.

Multi-part standard providing methods for measurement of various air pollutants including SPM, SO2, NOx, CO, and particulate matter.

Key Values
NAAQS PM10 annual60 µg/m³
NAAQS PM2.5 annual40 µg/m³
NAAQS SO2 annual50 µg/m³
Practical Notes
! Construction sites must monitor PM10 per CPCB norms — IS 5182 Part 12 is the approved method.
! Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies reference IS 5182 for all ambient air quality measurements.
! 24-hour average PM10 should not exceed 100 µg/m³ per NAAQS.
