Environmental pollution of urban areas is one of key factors that state authorities and local agencies have to consider in the decision-making processAir quality is deteriorated in Mangalore due to the release of toxic smoke from vehicles. Petrochemical industries at Baikampady and Padubidri release large amount of smoke day and night. Trash burning is observed in many places’ day and night. Road repairs are left incomplete and dust circulates everywhere. Plastic wrappers, containers are found scattered here and there in public places. The vehicles are also increasing; all these factors along with the petrochemical industries contribute to rising air pollution. Many places within the city of Mangalore need plenty of improvement, as far as cleanliness and sanitation are concerned.
