AIR QUALITY MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT IN CALABAR METROPOLIS
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Air quality monitoring and management in Calabar metropolis, is a critical research project aimed at monitoring and management of the quality of air circulation in most populated parts of Calabar metropolis ranging from Calabar municipal to Calabar south. Different locations were assessed for carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO) using the Air Quality Index (AQI) mobile Application which indicates that the air can be varied from good to very poor for CO, while NO and NO2 are very good except at major traffic intersection where they were both poor and very poor. The results suggest that strict and appropriate vehicle emission management, industrial air pollution control coupled with close burning management of wastes should be considered in the study area to reduce the risks associated with these pollutants.
