How to Get Rid of Pollution in Cities Skylines 2
Foremost, the most important thing is to follow the correct zoning of the city. When planning, divide the city into residential and industrial areas. Place the industrial area at a distance so that it does not pollute the residential area. However, keep in mind that the residents will move from the residential area to the industrial area every day to work, and if it is too far away, it will lead to a loss of income for the city. Also, to construct some of the buildings described below, they should be unlocked in the development tree first. Now, let’s take a closer look at what types of pollution exist inCities: Skylines 2and how to deal with them.
Ground pollution
Ground pollution is often caused bybuildings in industrial areasand by power plants. It disappears over time if the buildings stop polluting the land. The best solution to this pollution is to build industrial areas and factories far away from residential areas and use renewable and clean energy sources such as wind turbines, solar energy, and so on. Also, consider building an Industrial Waste Processing Facility to help reduce ground pollution in the industrial areas.

Air pollution
Air pollution is very similar to land pollution because it occurs in industrialized areas and from power plants, but there are more details to consider when dealing with it. Just like with ground pollution, renewable energy sources should be used to get rid of it. If they are not yet unlocked, players should locate power plants away from the city and consider the wind so that it does not blow pollution toward residential areas.
Water pollution
There are several ways to avoid water pollution in the city. Foremost, water and sewage pumps should be properly located. Make sure that sewage does not get into the water pump by placing the water pump upstream and the sewage pump downstream. If this is not possible, install a Wastewater Treatment Plant to treat the sewage.
