Air pollution is a combination of several harmful particles and gases in the air that affect the Ozone layer as the result it lead to the increase of global temperature. The big source of air pollution in Tanzania is industries mostly cement and steel industries, vehicles, human activities like burning of the forests, highly use of charcoals, agricultural activities, Poor waste disposal and mining activities. According to Mrs. Kezia Mbwambo (nd): impacts of air pollution and  progress made by the region to reduce air pollution: Biomass burning – fuel wood account for >90% of the energy consumed - indoor air pollution.

However it?s difficult to have actual data of air pollution in Tanzania, due to lack of research and detailed information from the region. Lack of environmental education to most of Tanzanians stimulates the continuation of destructive activities in our environment.

Lack of reliable public transport in major cities like Dar es Salaam is one among the big challenge of air pollution in country. According to David Mfinanga (2012): Challenges and Opportunities for the Integration of Commuter Minibus Operators into the Dar es Salaam City BRT System. The public transport in the city is currently provided by about 5,000 licensed, small capacity and privately owned minibuses commonly known as ?Daladala?, The service offered is generally poor and unsafe, lacking professionalism, efficiency, quality and safety for the commuters. Tanzania does not have vehicle test regulations hence more than 50% of automobiles pollute our environment

Poverty play a great role for air pollution in Tanzania, because majority of the people cannot afford to buy environmentally friendly cookers, instead they use wood for cooking. Last year I had opportunity to visit Maasai village in Arusha Tanzania we discussed several issues about environment within the small smoke hut which is their real home. Even though people fight for the demand of clean air but still they cannot afford to buy environmentally friendly cookers.

My advice to Tanzania Ministry of Energy and Minerals and stakeholders, we should put much emphasize of our investment to solar energy and wind power. Because we have enough sun throughout the year that can be reliable source of energy, but also ministry of energy should focus on areas such as Singida and Dodoma region as they have enough wind to run wind turbines.
