The paper examines the significance differences in monthly variation of air pollutants concentrations at S. P. Office residential area of Jalna, Maharashtra over a two year period are presented. Keeping in the need of monitoring of air pollution study was carried out particularly in the residential area. The study reveals that, the problem of air pollution (SO2, NOx, RSPM and SPM) is not so much serious at Jalna city. It may be because of strict government policy, efficient treatment plants, proper wastage disposal system etc. The biannual mean concentrations of all four pollutants measured at residential site were found within the permissible limits of Indian National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
