Abstract	Air pollution in urban areas has become an increasingly pressing issue, affecting public health and the environment. This study investigates public awareness, perception, policy implementation, and the role of technological interventions in managing air pollution in two major hotspots in Nashik: Dwarka Circle and Gangapur Road. A mixed-method approach was employed, using survey responses from 355 residents and a semi-structured interview with a Nashik Municipal Corporation official. Quantitative analysis using chi-square tests and regression modeling revealed a significant association between public perception and residential location, while awareness and policy effectiveness emerged as strong predictors of public concern. The study found that although citizens are aware of pollution’s causes and impacts, there is limited understanding of government initiatives. Technological interventions such as real-time monitoring and smart infrastructure are perceived as necessary but not fully implemented or trusted. The findings emphasize the need for enhanced environmental education, stronger policy enforcement, and participatory governance to address urban air quality challenges.
