| Abstract | Pulmonary function test (PFT) values of 50 healthy subjects and levels of pollutants like suspended particulate matter (SPM), PM$_{10}$, PM$_{2.5}$ in ambient air were continually investigated from February 2007 to January 2010 at Patiala, Punjab (India). Significant decrease in PFTs were observed with increase in concentration levels of pollutants during wheat and rice crop residue burning in the fields. In the present paper a new statistical model on field crop residue burning and PFT has been proposed. The model is based on multiple ordinary least square regression method. It can predict values of PFTs as a function of some parameters of air pollutants. Monthly average values of different variables are used for the purpose of designing four different models. These models were tested by parameters like randomness of residual, relationship of residual with independent variables, etc. The final accepted models could predict up to 88 % variation in the values of force vital capacity and force expiratory volume and up to 77 % variation in peak expiratory flow and force expiratory flow with the corresponding changes in the SPM, PM$_{10}$, PM$_{2.5}$ and temperature respectively. This model can be used as a tool for measurement of risk assessment due to air pollution in future. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
