Ambient Air Quality Monitoring in Metropolitan City of Lagos, Nigeria by Kelechi Longinus Njoku, Tosin John Rumide, Modupe Olatunde Akinola, Adeola Alex Adesuyi, Anuoluwapo Omosileola Jolaoso

“…Air quality index (AQI) indicates that the ambient air can be described as poor for SPM, 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 (D-E). 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.© JASEM Keywords: Air, pollutants, Air quality index, carbon-monoxide, sulphur-dioxide…”
