Abstract

Air Pollution is one of the biggest threats to human species and the environment. It is known as a silent killer. We are all so busy in our everyday life that we neglect and never think about the quality of air that we're constantly inhaling. The consequences of inhaling poor air can be deadly. They can be as minor as eye irritation, coughing and sneezing which can lead to lung cancer and other alarming health issues. Around 2 million premature deaths occur due to poor air quality. Pakistan is included in countries with one of the worst urban Air quality. There are many sources of Air pollution i.e. Industrial, Bio gas, but most important and frequent source includes fuel combustion and vehicular emissions. Due to rapid motorization in the last 20 years, Pakistan is facing alarming poor Air quality especially in urban areas. The situation gets worse when around 20 to 50 passengers travel together using same means of conveyance.
