Abstract:

This paper mainly describes the air pollution of India in historical time as well as present time. As we know that there is a very close relation between human need and pollution. As development of society taken place pollution also increases rapidly. So we can see that trend of air pollution from earlier time to present time and there concentration in different topographical and metrological conditions. This paper also reviews the potential health consequences of changes in climate that affect urban environments. These changes in climate, include increases in the frequency and severity of heat waves, severe storms coupled with sea level rise, and wildfires, plus increases in urban airborne ozone. The potential for adverse health effects is substantial. As we know that carbon dioxide(CO2), oxide of nitrogen (NOX), particulate matter(PM), CO mainly affects the human health so study is being focus on the diseases caused by these pollutants. Finally various conclusions that makes pollution up and down like we found out that the industrial emissions of air pollutants have increased considerably in India during 1973–1974 to 1996–1997. The main factors for these increases are the changes in the eco-efficiency of production, changes in the overall production structure, and changes in the volume of final demand etc.
