breathe polluted air, which eventually causes yearly demise of 7 million
people, mainly from ailments such as stroke, lung cancer, and heart
disease. Intensity of greenhouse gases, specially carbon dioxide and
carbon monoxide are two harmful gases emitted from private vehicles.
Sleep deprivation, pulmonary diseases, critical ailments like lung cancer,
and oxygen deficiency are some problems faced by city dwellers. It is also

usage of private cars by sharing cars, pool cars or government forcing
odd and even number licence plated cars to run on alternate days can be
the possible measures to control air pollution.
