        abstract = {The deteriorating air quality in cities has established a new legal requirement which municipalities now need to fulfill. The legal system addresses the problems which the public officilas have neglected for an excessive duration. To maintain good health, the individuals require access to clean air. The concept is developed from a basic rule that the all people should have access to natural resources. Government have duty to protect it correctly from their predecessors. The legal system creates new methods for finding guilty individuals after they break their agreements during extended administrative processes. The system will not function because it takes too much time to respond which results in irreversible damage. Judges need to demonstrate their power through their primary duties. The discovery of connections between ATL and health rights recognition by constitutions and international bodies enables petitioners to establish stronger evidence because poor air quality now appears to violate fundamental rights which protect human survival, dignity, and physical safety. The combination of health rights and clean air laws gives the courts greater authority to make legal decisions. Judges possess the authority to take action when detrimental effects have already occurred. The system requires an alternative solution which eliminates the need for politicians to finalize all decisions.},
