Outdoor and indoor air pollution is among the leading global risks for mortality and responsible for increasing risk for chronic diseases especially asthma in Agra. Community perceptions on exposure to outdoor as well as indoor pollution are critical in determining people’s response and acceptance of related policies. Therefore, understanding people’ perception is critical in forming the design of appropriate intervention measures. The aim of this paper was to establish levels and associations between perceived pollution and health risk perception especially related to asthma among slum residents. A cross-sectional study of 400 individuals was conducted in two registered slums and two non -registered slums across the North, South, East and West zones of Agra city. The perceived air pollution level and related health risks in the study community were low among the residents indicating the need for promoting awareness on air pollution sources and related health risks.
