Air pollution in Jaipur has reached a critical level as a result of growing number of vehicles and resultant congestion. The air quality is affected by rising levels of particulate and nitrogen oxide contamination. Moreover, rapidly growing number of vehicles may undo any gains the Pink City might have made.

These are some of the findings of a new study-cum-citizens' survey conducted by the Centre for Science & Environment which were released at a city-level dialogue organised in association with the Jaipur Development Authority here. The survey found a belief among 88 per cent of Jaipur residents that the city's air pollution levels have worsened.
