Findings

The data in which the reacher collected for this research indicated that
 The most common effect resident of non pariel are like;y to face
after been disturbed by smoke given off from factories
 Many reports were made on both matter because of the prevalent at
all time of the day when many reports were made on the matter
because of the disturbants
 Smoker also contribute tremendously to air pollution in the
community because it has side effect of person that inhale the that
can lead to disease
 Recommendation
I therefore declare that after conducting this survey in the non pariel
village the researcher become aware of all possible factors, solution and
consequences some solution there searcher would recommend to help
combat this phenomenon in non pariel village
 Villagers should go factories and inform manager and supervision
about the matter also NDC should be inform
 The villagers should come together and decide on strategies that
can help to combat ,illimate air pollution
 Smoke free zone put in place by putting up sign board(No
smoking) shoud be done in most area of the community and strick
penalties attached if laws are broken
