Urban air pollution is a complex mix of gases and particulate matter that negatively affect communities living in and around urban areas. It’s most recognisable by that thick brown haze which blankets cities across the world, especially in summer, known as photochemical smog.
Nitrogen dioxide, ground-level ozone and particulate matter are the three main air pollutants in modern cities and the health effects of these are well-documented. These three, as well as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide, are known as ‘criteria pollutants’. Criteria pollutants are included in national air quality standards that define allowable concentrations of pollutants in ambient air.
