Pollution in cities 1. Introduction People initially thought that the environment was so vast that the waste products generated by human activity and our complex needs could easily be absorbed. Due to an increase in the number of people who inhabit cities the generation of waste products has increased to such an extent that it has exceeded the environment’s ability to absorb such waste (Fyfe 1990).

A transect and herbarium will be used to identify species and species diversity in the study area. Health effects will be analyzed by surveying the nearby community and hospitals through questionnaires and interviews. Introduction Urban Green belts play vital role in urban planning. A greater contribution to urban heat reduction, pollution abatement and many other social, physical and environmental
