Explanation:

With a view to document the long term changes in composition of trace species of the atmosphere as a result of changing land use pattern, WMO had commissioned a global programme called
Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network (BAPM0N) which is now a part of the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) Programme. India had set up 10 such BAPMon stations.
At these stations, rain water samples are collected every month and these are sent to the Central Chemical Laboratory at Pune for complete chemical analysis.

Atmospheric turbidity which indicates the columnar aerosol load of the atmosphere, is also measured at these stations using sunphotmeters.
