Abstract
The quality of air was investigated from different environmental backdrops such as residential, commercial, industrial and rural (control) areas in Faisalabad, Pakistan. It was noticed that the SPM, NO2 and SO2 levels in all the locations were within the permissible limits but the raising levels were indicated in one residential-cum-industrial and one industrial area. The source of these pollutants is primarily transport sector and secondly industrial. The ambient air quality was generally low. Sociological survey revealed that pollution related diseases were quite prevalent and were compatible to the results reported by PPHE (Punjab Public Health and Engineering Department Lahore, Pakistan)
