In India the environmental conditions of cities have progressively deteriorated due to urbanization, industrial development, lack of awareness, poor maintenance of motor vehicles and poor road conditions. Various cities of Gujarat are also underwent this industrialization and urbanization. As a result of which the environment in city and around it has started to affect human health, plants and animals. Through this paper, I have discussed the scenarios and different survey studies conducted in various cities of Gujarat. Among these cities Vapi and Ankleshwar are facing alarming environment problems. The amount of particulate matter and harmful suspended solids in city environment has already crossed their permissible limits in few cities. In a survey by CPCB around our country, these two cities of Gujarat are found in ten most polluted cities. GIDC should take some serious step regarding these critical problems otherwise it will be too late. Other cities like Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat are also on the verge of these adverse effects of pollution. It is certain that these alarming values will have adverse effects on climate, environment and health, and both personal and social wealth of the dwellers of the cities. So, a strict implementation of adequate abatement measures and environmental regulations are needed urgently to stop our cities to convert into pollution jar.
