When air pollution in a city comes to mind, it indicates towards a number of problems such as, the levels of pollution people are exposed to, the main sources, locations, and the number of fatalities. The impact of toxic pollutants (industrial, road traffic and shipping) on communities health is as such that the illegal levels is now believed to be the failure of ruling powers for inaction to remove catastrophic health hazards and also the lack of being proactive to take action in the last decades. In some countries the levels are far below the legal limits and that indicates towards more investments together with attention given to compliance with rules, regulations and the requirements of the legislations on environmental health. There are no other magic solutions to the crisis of non- compliance, other than having a discipline of taking control and avoiding unacceptable risk taking. We have seen a shocking level of sanitation and also non existence of public health standards in some developing world countries, which is due to government culture and the lack of financial backing to proper investments in public health infrastructure. By now lessons should have been learned, so that there is no air, land and water pollution on a large scale in the developed world.
