Comparative, Ambient, Household, Air Quality

Abstract : Air pollution is the release of chemicals and harmful substances into the atmosphere due to human activities. Short-term and long-term exposure to air pollution can create health issues in both animals and plants. It was observed in Bauchi State that there are increased cases of environmental pollution related diseases; therefore, this study investigated the house and ambient air quality and its associated public health impact. The instrument used for data collection was a hand held device (Air Quality Detector). The Local Government Areas (LGA) in the three senatorial zones of the State were clustered into three clusters where one LGA was selected from each cluster, headquarters of the each LGA were selected for data collection, three sites were randomly identified from each LGA head quarter. Data were collected from the three sites in each of the selected LGA; the data were collected in three different periods (June, August and October 2023). The study revealed that CO2, and PM2.5 in both ambient and household were above the acceptable level in most of the study centres, however, CO and TOVC were not significant. It was concluded that high concentration of some air pollutants were observed in all the study areas. Carbon dioxide concentration was observed to be high in all the study centres in the State, in both ambient and household. Similarly, high concentration of PM2.5 was also observed to the level that can pose serious public health impact. However, carbon monoxide and TVOC were observed to pose non-significant health challenge in the State. Therefore, enlightenment campaign should be intensified on the proper waste management, and heavy machines, small-scale industries operators and motor parks should be sited outside town to prevent pollution of the environment due to their activities.
