Abstract: This paper examines sources of air pollution and strategies for its management in the urban cities. ‎Emphasis is laid on industrial air pollution and vehicular emission, which are the major urban air ‎polluters. Various gases that are emitted by industries into the atmosphere near and around ‎dwelling places were analyzed. Also analyzed is the combustion of large quantity of ‎transportation fuels in the urban cities, which releases several contaminants into the atmosphere. ‎These contaminants include carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, lead and other ‎particulate matter. Various strategies which can be employed for the management of urban air ‎pollution were discussed, covering stack monitoring, changing process operation and cleaning ‎flue gases for industrial emissions, and changing fuel type, removing gross polluters, cleaning ‎vehicle exhaust gases and traffic management for vehicular emissions‎
