Air pollution has now become a worldwide phenomenon and every individual in one way or the other is facing problems caused by it. Any changes in the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the environment can cause harmful effects on humans. It is evident that pollution causes disruption of life resulting in spread of various diseases and genetic disorders among humans. Some environmental poisons can cause acute illness and even death. This present study is an attempt to highlight the increasing air pollution in Mumbai and its impact on the human health and to suggest recommendations to reduce health impact from air pollution.
