Urban sprawl is endemic throughout the world and there is widespread concern over its potential environmental and public health impacts. Many of the nations' cities are consuming land faster than their population is growing pushing the spectre of urban and suburban pollution farther into rural corridors. It should be noted that the advancement of global technology has provided many benefits including higher standard of living, an abundant food supply and state-of-the art technology. Unfortunately mankind is now bearing the unforeseen burden of advanced technology as if has introduced new pollutants and toxins into our environment. Scientists and medical practitioners agree that environmental pollutants are adversely affecting human health. Mention of all above factors indicate that health problems in developing countries are created mostly by the environment in which the people live and if there is anything certain in such conditions it is illness.
