In a situation of ever growing pollution of all sorts, urban life with its frenzied pace of activity is getting exposed more and more to health hazards due to the deteriorating environment. Ever growing population, migration of people from rural areas to cities and urban areas, rapid industrialization and consequent release of obnoxious gasses, indiscriminate felling of trees, destroyal of greenery for construction of factories and concrete structures and rapid changes in the life style of people have all been contributing to the present state of highly polluted environs.
