Air pollution in cities can be affected by traffic, industry, construction, vehicle emissions, waste disposal, and weather conditions.
Particulate Matter PM2.5 consists of fine particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller. These particles can originate from various sources in cities, including vehicle emissions, industrial processes, construction activities, and the burning of fossil fuels.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, primarily in vehicles. In urban environments, heavy traffic and congested roadways are major sources of carbon monoxide emissions.
Nitrogen Dioxide NO2 is mainly produced from the combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles and power plants. In cities, heavy traffic congestion is a significant source of NO2 emissions. Industrial activities and residential heating using fossil fuels can also release nitrogen dioxide.
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is primarily emitted from the burning of coal and oil in power plants and industrial facilities. In urban areas, vehicles equipped with diesel engines can also contribute to SO2 emissions. Additionally, certain industrial processes, such as smelting and refining, release sulfur dioxide into the air.
Ground-level Ozone (O3) is not directly emitted, but it forms when pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react in the presence of sunlight. In urban areas, vehicle emissions are a primary source of these precursor pollutants.

Health Impacts
Air pollution in cities can have a significant impact on human health, the environment, and the economy. Short-term exposure to air pollution can cause respiratory problems, such as asthma and bronchitis. Long-term exposure can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and premature death.
-
Neurological Problems
Air pollution can damage the brain and nervous system, leading to cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.
-
Premature death
Air pollution is estimated to cause millions of premature deaths each year worldwide.
-
Respiratory problems
Air pollution can irritate the lungs and airways, leading to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and asthma attacks.
-
Cardiovascular problems
Air pollution can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and arrhythmias.
-
Cancer
Air pollution has been linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, as well as other types of cancer.
