Ambient air quality status of Jammu city

There is a close relationship between environment and life because destruction of the environment would lead to the destruction of all the living creatures, including human beings. Regrettably, recent years have witnessed an unprecedented industrial and technological advancement which on one side may be of great benefit for human welfare but has brought in its wake colossal problem of environmental pollution. The dawn of the 20th century brought a new kind of air pollution in its wake due to the modernization of the transportation system and the large-scale use of petrol and diesel as fuels. Motor vehicles are a significant source of urban air pollution and are increasingly important contributors of various anthropogenic pollutants having deleterious effect on environment and human health. The vehicular pollution assumes special significance in Jammu city owing to constant increase in level of air pollutants resulting in its categorisation under ‘non-attainment’ city and a rapid increase in the fleet of vehicles moves in and around the city. Numerous national and international studies revealed the growth of diseases in the last few years, and the impact on life expectancy rate of Jammuites due to breathing polluted air.
