Training on Air Quality Management in Cities

Course Overview

Air pollution is a major public health and environmental challenge in urban areas. Rapid urbanization, increasing vehicle numbers, industrial activities, open waste burning, and energy consumption contribute to deteriorating air quality. The consequences include respiratory illnesses, rising healthcare costs, reduced productivity, and environmental degradation.

Despite growing awareness, many cities face challenges such as limited monitoring infrastructure, fragmented institutional responsibilities, and weak enforcement of pollution control measures. Without accurate data and coordinated strategies, designing effective policies becomes difficult.

This course provides a practical and applied approach to managing urban air quality. Participants will explore air pollution monitoring systems, emission source identification, regulatory and policy frameworks, pollution control technologies, stakeholder engagement strategies, and performance evaluation methods. Through hands-on exercises, case studies, and planning simulations, learners gain actionable skills to design and implement effective air quality improvement programs.
