“…A "no care" attitude (unless forced by the court of law), rapid and unplanned urbanisation, continued growth of the megacities [32] , uncontrolled vehicular density on insufficient road space that is badly being cared for, lack of adequate parking facilities [75] , low turnover of old vehicles with too frequent breakdowns, undisciplined drivers, and indifferent pedestrians together with a bad traffic management have taken the problems into a threatening stage [90] . These are in fact the major issues in megacities leading to the increasing air pollution [16,73,[91][92][93] .…”

Large proportions of the Indian population live in megacities (e.g., Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata), which are vibrant centers of economic opportunities and offering better quality of social life. Due to increasing migration to these cities, Indian megacities are constantly expanding, which subsequently leads to strain on the environment with a range of impacts at local, regional and global levels. During the last few decades the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other air pollutants have increased substantially, resulting in worsening ambient air quality of these cities. With respect to time span the concern over air pollutants has also changed in Indian megacities. Concern over particulate matter, black carbon, NOx and ozone has heightened recently due to their local and regional impacts on air quality and environmental (including public) health and also because they contribute to global climate change. Although authorities have implemented several measures to reduce air pollution and its impacts in Indian megacities, much more is yet to be done to improve their ambient air quality. This paper focuses on major air pollution and GHGs emission issues in Indian megacities and associated problems within the framework of their role in environmental vulnerability.

“…Carbon and nitrogen gaseous emissions from CWs provide fingerprints for microbial wastewater treatment process in CWs, and the amount of gas emission will differ with the existence of plants and different hydraulic loading rates (Bateganya et al, 2015). A study found that livestock enteric fermentation was the main source for CH4, while livestock manure management and crop residue burning were the major source of N2O, NH3, and NO2from wetlands (Gurjar et al, 2015). Methane emission rate was increased significantly under lower redox conditions and higher organic loading rates (Corbella and Puigagut, 2015).…”

An update on the current research and development of the treatment technologies, which utilize natural processes or passive components in wastewater treatment, is provided in this paper. The main focus is on wetland systems and their applications in wastewater treatment (as an advanced treatment unit or decentralized system), nutrient and pollutant removal (metals, industrial and emerging pollutants including pharmaceutical compounds). A summary of studies involving the effects of vegetation, wetland design and modeling, hybrid and innovative systems, storm water treatment and pathogen removal is also included.
