Abstract
Air pollution has been a menace in recent years
posing serious threats to environmental and social wellbeing. One
death out of every eight global deaths was linked to polluted air. The
review of literature in the existing body of knowledge becomes
paramount in order to continue with the research on the subject
matter. The study will enable the road map for the assessment of the
challenging issues related to atmospheric pollution in developing
countries. A total number of thirty-five studies relevant to
atmospheric pollution were selected out of the total number of fifty
studies. The review of literature looked into details on different
views from various scholars about the challenges faced by
developing countries on air pollution and appropriate control
measures. Discussion was also in the various countries that are on the
priority list of industrial technologies for protection and exploitation
of developed technologies, as well as the forms of technologies for
future air pollution control measures. The findings from the literature
review showed that the environmental health risk facing the world
now is air pollution. This has resulted in the death of millions of
people. It was also mostly mentioned that outdoor air pollution
exposure levels have risen significantly in some parts of the world,
particularly in countries with large populations’ growth through rapid
industrialization, such as China and India. The paper presented the
assessment of atmospheric pollution reduction: a challenging issue
for developing countries. The evidence in literature signals the need
for concerted effort to clean up the air we all breathe to save millions
of lives.
