This paper presents a case study of Jodhpur City in which residential areas have been analysed for their ambient air quality analysis. Whole experimental and calculative procedure was based on the guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board of India. 24 hourly average concentrations of five criteria pollutants i.e., PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2 and CO were selected for the study for the year 2016 at five different locations of residential areas in Jodhpur city. Observations were taken twice in a week for three months. Results revealed that SO2 and NO2 concentrations were within prescribed limit of standard norms. CO concentration was also within permissible limit except few areas. Only particulate matters were crossing the standard limit and specially PM10. Overall AQI was falling under the category of Good to moderatecategory. Thus, it can be concluded from the study that major pollutionin the residential areas of Jodhpur was due to particulate matters.
