Urbanization and industrialization have caused a persistent decline in air quality, resulting in a significant environmental issue in numerous urban centers across both developed and developing countries. Air pollution is characterized by high levels of suspended particulate matter, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, primarily stemming from increased vehicular use. The book offered a rational basis for air quality management and green belt development in urban areas.
