There are different types of air pollutants such as Sulfur Oxides,Nitrogen Oxides, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Volatile organic Compounds, etc. inmetropolitans cities, there is much pollution due to traffic, pollution due to transportation, miningoperations, smoke from factories, burning of fossil fuel, etc. Causes of air pollution are as under-One cause of air pollution is Burning of fossil fuel. There is use of different vehicles inmetropolitan cities such as trucks, cars, Jeeps, trains, etc. These components give pollution toenvironment (Anderson, Thundiyil and Stolbach, 2012).

In peak seasonof tourism, there is requirement of more transportation which is the major cause of air pollution.London is the city where there is requirement of different sources for loading of raw material tofactories, so there is use of more fossil fuels which causes air pollution. For instance: in citieslike Manchester, England, Kensisgton, etc. material and resources which are required tomanufacture articles is supplied from London due to more availability of labour andtechnological advancement.
