To reduce air pollution in urban areas, local governments can encourage the use of public transportation, electric vehicles, and bicycles; invest in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power; set up green spaces for respiratory tract cleaning; introduce stricter emissions standards to reduce automotive exhausts; adopt better waste management strategies like separate collection of solid wastes to decrease fly ash and incinerator gases from incinerators for the treatment of garbage; introduce efficient industrial boilers with flue gas abatement technology like selective catalytic reduction or low-NOx burners to lower NOx releases from fuel combustion processes; reduce coal consumption, especially among large coal consumers like power plants and factories by replacing them with renewables or natural gas wherever possible.

Cities can reduce air pollution by encouraging citizens to use public transportation, switching to electric or hybrid vehicles, implementing renewable energy sources, and introducing stricter emissions standards. Other techniques such as replacing non-EV cars with EV fleets and introducing bike lanes are also helpful in reducing air pollution.
