In parallel with the rapid population growth, air pollution has become one of the most important problems in cities, along with water pollution, soil pollution, nuclear pollution and other pollution (noise-light pollution). Pollution elements, which have many negative effects on the natural environment and human health, and which have increased in recent years and cause serious air pollution, need to be reduced in the urban atmosphere and even eliminated at the source. With effective air quality policies to be implemented in the city, the amount of emissions of these pollutants to the atmosphere can be reduced and the emissions of these emissions can be solved at their sources thanks to clean technologies. In this context; effective implementation of the sustainable development goals will improve air quality by aiming to reduce pollutant emissions in cities. This study reveals which of the sustainable development goals can be used to minimize air pollutants in cities within the scope of sustainable environment in line with sustainable development goals and how these goals can have a positive impact on air quality. In order to investigate the impact of Sustainable Development Goals on air quality in cities, one-on-one interviews were conducted with expert academic staff from the environmental engineering department of our university and the collected data were presented.
