Abstract

This study investigated that the distribution of deposited dust from emission from biomass/crop residue/garbage/municipal solid waste burning as central pollution control board, Delhi, on the basis of values of particulate matter [pm 10 Particle matter size less than 10 micron] in ambient air has identified 15 cities of Uttar Pradesh and it is found that control of emission from biomass/crop residue/garbage/municipal solid waste burning as the action plan one of the major categories. According to the U.N. world health organization [WHO], about 90% of the global population living in cities was exposed to particulate matter that exceeded the WHO air quality guidelines. The UN agency e estimates that outdoor air pollution caused 3 million premature deaths with the vast majority occurring in low to middle income Nations. The WHO health statistics says air pollution is caused by inefficient energy production distribution and use, especially in the industrial, transportation and building sectors, and by poor waste management. It adds that transport system based primarily on individual motorized transport can lead to further deterioration in air quality. As everyone within urban area breaths the same air, the pollution does not discriminate both rich and poor exposed to dangerous, but it adds, people living near the source or busy roads, are more exposed and more affected. The WHO says that the air quality in many cities is not monitored making it difficult to get an accurate understanding of the global impact  of the air pollution, However planting trees in an urban setting is not without potential pitfalls, one is regarding the flow of air in heavily polluted streets particularly ones with large volume of traffic. Thick canopies can limit the circulation of air trapping the poor quality air at low levels where people breathe.
