Gaseous Emissions, GHG emissions, Formation Processes, Urban Water Cycle

Since there are many sources of the gaseous emissions and strict rules as well as regulations are being imparted so as to stop this emission from this sources. But seeing apart from them Urban Water Cycle that mainly consists of various water supply, sewer lines, wastewater treatment plants, etc. is also the contributors to these emissions. The emissions given by them are stringent GHG and also highly toxic gases like hydrogen sulphide, VOC. This emission plays vital role as precursors to global warming and climate change. This paper gives review about the process leading to various emissions from sewer lines and sewage treatment plants. When the sewer flows through the sewer lines to the WWTP various gases gets generated and comes in contact to ambient atmosphere leading to their negative long term or short term impact on various surrounding infrastructures, living bodies, non-living bodies etc.
