Pollution in the cities is a major concern to everyone in the modern world; this is because of the consequences that result from neglecting our environmental safety measures. The key areas according to the report in the `state of the environment in china 2003’,highlights the several forms of pollution that include traffic noise pollution, fresh water pollution, marine water ,solid waste, atmospheric environment, forests/grassland, biodiversity, climate and natural disasters, and radioactive environment pollutions.

Some problems on pollution have been tackled only to spearhead other new ways of polluting the environment. New construction of residential homes and expansion of cites is so high and that makes sewerage system to overflow due to lack of expansion on it, garbage then litters almost everywhere due to population pressure that is uncontrollable
