Abstract

Presently many Indian cities are suffering the pressure of a combination of different driving forces like increase in urban population density, industrialization and motorization and without a sufficiently well developed institutional capacity or the financial resources to control them. As a consequence, the ability of many cities in the region to cope with the combined pressure is often exceeded thereby leading to deterioration of environmental quality. Air pollution in India is mainly caused from three sources namely vehicles, industrial and domestic sources. CPCB (2003) enlists following reasons for high air pollution in India:Poor Quality of Fuel, Old Process Technology, Wrong Siting of Industries, No Pollution Preventing Step in Early Stage of Industrialization, Poor Vehicle Design, Uncontrolled Growth of Vehicle Population, No pollution Preventive and Control System in Small/Medium Scale Industry, Poor Compliance of Standard in Small/Medium Scale Industries
