Environmental challenges and issues of Pakistan are associated primarily with an imbalanced social and economic development from last two to three decades. This challenge is further compounded with rapid urbanization due to a shift of population from rural to urban areas. Thus, all major cities of Pakistan face haphazard, unplanned expansion leading to increase in pollution.

Data set from 1975-2009 are taken for time series analysis. The results are quite robust not only in terms of statistical powers, but also in terms of economic instinct.
