Introduction: Aerosol pollutants are known to raise the risk of development of non-communicable respiratory diseases (NCRDs) such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and allergic rhinitis. Sub-Saharan Africa's rapid pace of urbanization, economic expansion, and...

Pursuing ecological sustainability while mitigating the effects of environmental pollution has become a global pursuit. Moreover, the issue of how emerging economies like Mexico, Indonesia, Turkey, and Nigeria (MINT) economies can significantly reduce environmental pollution (EVP) remains...

Air pollution and its detrimental health impacts have become a major global environmental and health concern. The aim of this study is to assess air quality under different land uses and determine the variation in air quality between urban and rural areas of Gwagwalada Area Council, Federal Capital ...

An understanding of the dispersion and level of emissions source of atmospheric pollutants; whether point, area or volume sources, is required to inform policies on air pollution and day-to-day predictions of pollution level. Very few studies have carried out simulations of the dispersion pattern...

The sustainability and development of coastal tourism is a subject of serious debate and discussions among researchers. Over stressed resources can lead to the degradation of the resources, which may result to eventual closure of the resource. So, meeting the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)...

The emission of air pollutants has led to numerous air quality issues in cities and a major factor in this is increasing population and growth in road traffic. This study assessed concentration of carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) in relation to traffic density...

Environmental pollution occasioned by artisanal activities and technical failures at exploration sites has affected mostly oil producing and other mineral resources mining regions in developed and developing nations. As conventional techniques of remediation seem to be progressively unreliable and ...

This study identified specific emission sources of atmospheric pollution in the vicinity of two secondary iron and steel smelting factories in Osun state, southwestern Nigeria, using transplanted biomonitors. A total of 120 biomonitors consisting of lichen and moss were grown under a controlled...

Use of medicinal herbs is now gaining popularity especially among the low-income people because it is cheap, readily available and its "seeming" lack of side effects. However, environmental pollution is a potential threat to its continued use. This study examines the effect of air pollution on the ...

The ground water quality of Okobo Local Government Area was investigated. Sixteen boreholes (BHs) water samples were collected from four zones (Okopedi, Ekeya, Ukwong and Okiuso) in Okobo. Standard analytical procedures were used to analyze the physicochemical, bacteriological and heavy metal...
