Abstract
Atmospheric pollution and climate change is a major problem being faced by all nations of the world (Annadanam and Kota 2019; Lou et al. 2019). It has now become a serious issue of concern and many countries are formulating action plans to deal with it. The technological revolution and ever-increasing urbanization and industrialization have contributed to the deterioration of the environment.
