The impacts on urban environment are perceived at various levels starting from household
level, community level, city level and if unchecked can multiply to issues at regional or
national level. This section highlights the environmental issues that need to be addressed to
improve the environmental health of Agra city.
Air pollution in the city is localized and limited to roads, industrial areas, major junctions
and at some extent in residential areas. While pollution in the city along arterial roads is
due to increased traffic, small-scale industries and also the Mathura Refinery.
The surface water of the city is contaminated. Water resources in the city are polluted
due to disposal of sewerage directly into the surface drains or surface water bodies.
