Brief Research Profile

Conducting research on Indoor Air Pollution in Urban/Rural Domestic/Commercial microenvironments and the associated health effects. Noise at workplace and at our surrounding is increasing and is a constant source of irritation. Effects of noise on exposed individuals as well as noise propagation along the vertical and horizontal directions are to be investigated. Efforts are to be made to develop material for Indian conditions that can be used for noise abatement on highwats.
