- Abstract
This article focuses on air quality and its management. Cities in developing country are growing rapidly in size and diversity. Increasing emission from vehicular traffic, industry, and refuse burning all poses potential risk for large air pollution exposure. The growth of economic development combined with the lack of emission control makes Asia's mega-cities prone to more serious air pollution problems than similar cities in industrialized nations. The profile of pollution indicates that these cities have serious to moderate problems due to the high levels of Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), and Lead.
