Emissions from vehicles, burning of wastes and industrial sources are considered to be major contributors to air pollutant emissions in Suva; however, there is no evidence-based data delineating their relative contribution. General public complaints data indicate that air pollution is a significant community concern for most urban communities in Fiji\cite{env2013}.  This study will attempt to highlight the importance of understanding and recognizing the effects of ambient (outdoor) air pollution in cities in developing countries and for this research the focus will be on the city of Suva in the Republic of Fiji.  More so, the study will bring to light the air quality in the city of Suva within a specific period of time and try to relate these air quality readings with the hospital admissions and emergency department visits from cardiovascular illnesses.
