A government body had designated 15km aerial distance from the north east and west boundary of the historic site as the Lumbini Protected Zone.
Adjoining the LPZ is an expanding industrial corridor that has cement, steel, paper and noodle factories and brick kilns.
Several of these factories are well within the LPZ and environmentalists say that is in clear violation of the government regulation.
The memorable site of Buddha's origination in Nepal confronts a genuine risk from air contamination, researchers and authorities have cautioned.
Late information gathered from air quality checking stations in five places the nation over show Lumbini is exceedingly contaminated.
The notices have come in the midst of growing industrialisation close to the consecrated site.
It is as of now situated in a contamination hotspot on the Gangetic fields.
For the time of January, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Lumbini, in southwest Nepal, was measured at 173.035 micrograms for every cubic meter.
The perusing for the neighboring town of Chitwan was 113.32 and the capital, Kathmandu, which is known for its high contamination levels, was at 109.82.

The World Wellbeing Association (WHO) safe cutoff for the contamination is 25 micrograms for every cubic meter and the Nepal government has set the national standard at 40.
Logical reviews have additionally highlighted the expanding levels of contamination in and around the noteworthy site.
"The consolidated impact of trans-limit transport from the contamination rich Indo-Gangetic Plain district and caught neighborhood modern contamination because of temperature reversal is in charge of serious winter contamination," says a review done by the Indian Organization of Tropical Meteorology in a joint effort with the WHO.
"For different seasons, nearby outflows are generally in charge of awful air quality."
It found that levels of PM 2.5 fine particles, which can enter human veins, were more than 10 times over the WHO safe cutoff.
Another review led by the IUCN and Unesco found that the contamination had started to undermine the Lumbini World Legacy site.
"The extension of the carbon emanation ventures inside the Lumbini Secured Zone has brought on a few issues, for example, dangers to biodiversity, wellbeing risks to nearby occupants, archeological properties, social and social qualities."
An IUCN study on three landmarks of the noteworthy site presumed that the sacrosanct garden - the center place - was dirtied via air scattered vaporous and strong mixes.
"On the examples of the Ashoka column (that was built up in 249 BC by Sovereign Ashoka to check the origination of Buddha) gypsum, calcite, dolomite and magnesite are available as fine powder that stores at first glance," says the report composed by Italian paleologist Constantino Meucci of the College of Rome.
"All mixes are a piece of the bond creation cycle."
An administration body had assigned 15km airborne separation from the north east and west limit of the notable site as the Lumbini Ensured Zone.
Bordering the LPZ is a growing modern passage that has concrete, steel, paper and noodle plants and block furnaces.
A few of these production lines are well inside the LPZ and preservationists say that is in clear infringement of the administration direction.

Connecting the LPZ is an extending modern passage that has bond, steel, paper and noodle industrial facilities and block furnaces.
A few of these processing plants are well inside the LPZ and earthy people say that is in clear infringement of the administration direction.
