Urban Pollution in India
The environmental issues are unplanned settlements, waste management, natural disaster preparedness, traffic management, and degradation and pollution of water and land resources and air quality. Urbanisation, inadequate treatment capacity, and disposal of untreated wastes cause severe pollution in urban and peri‐urban areas. Vehicle emissions produce over 90 percent of air pollution in urban areas in developing countries. The air quality index of million plus cities of India showed that more than 50 percent of cities have moderate to poor air quality. Ever‐increasing population along with swift industrialisation, urbanisation, and agricultural growth has caused water quality deterioration in India. In India, with expanding vehicular population, traffic noise levels have increased, which can cause serious health effects. The chapter also summarizes the ways to reduce urban pollution in India.
