Abstract
Air pollution is one of the biggest problems of our time because of its effects on both public and individual health as well as climate change. These air pollutants cause respiratory and cardiovascular disorders by penetrating the respiratory system through inhalation, making them significant contributors to human disease. Environmental issues pose a serious threat to the development of a sustainable urban environment, especially in many developing country cities. The research region for this study was selected to be the Nanded District (MS). The level of environmental perception among the residents was evaluated, and their attitudes and awareness toward the environment were looked at in this study. According to the current study's findings, respondents' perceived knowledge of the causes and effects of environmental contamination ranged from moderate to high. They also intended to lessen the contamination of the environment around them. To maintain the long-term viability of the city, it is essential to change the environmental behaviours of its residents. The results of this study can be applied globally in decision-making processes about sustainable ecosystems.
