The concept of urban pollution refers to the presence or introduction in cities and urban areas of poisonous or harmful substances. Urban pollution may come from natural sources, but the most detrimental are those emissions related to human activities. The two main causes of pollutants in urban areas are transportation technologies such as the automobiles and power production technologies such as industrial heating and cooling and coal-burning power plants. The anthropogenic sources of pollution, such as factories, industries, transportation, and so on, are typically exacerbated in cities due to the local concentration of humans and human activities. For instance, pollution in cities is affected by global environmental threads, such as global warming, and by locally originated environmental challenges, such as waste management, recycling, and light and noise generation. To socially fix the environment, society will have to change their individual lifestyles, as well as rules and regulations being changed.
