This paper presents data on the concentration of air pollutants at different places of a newly developed industrial estate in a highly growing city of State of West Bengal, India. The ambient air quality assessment was carried out at four different locations with respect to SO2, NOx, Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) and Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM), and monthly air sampling was carried out for a period 24 hours (3 x 8 hours) at each of the site. It is revealed that even the average concentrations of SPM, NOx, and SO2 were in highest level in all sampling sites as observed during winter followed by summer and the rainy season. It is also observed that out of four sampling sites, concentration of all parameters was highest at Bongabari and the minimum value was at South Lake Road, during winter References Anandhan.
