Steps Towards Mitigation of Air Pollutants as a Key for Sustainable Development I.C

Abstract

There are about 70% people living in cities in the world, however, urbanization in cities is still in progress. Urban development brings us economic benefits but also results in environmental pollutions. Steps taken to environmental sustainability can lead to the preservation of natural resources while welfare, economic and social dimensions are considered. There are lots of ways to reach sustainability, one of which is through abatement of air pollution which in turn would have direct and indirect impacts on environmental, economic and sociopolitical sustainability. This review outlines the issues concerned in air mitigation such as the use of renewable energies, the role of green lands and sustainable transportation as keys for sustainable development.
