    Air Sensors & Air Quality Monitoring
    oral presentation

    Introduction and objectives: Air pollution is the contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agent that alters the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. Indeed, the concentration of the main pollutants has increased due to the scale of fossil fuel-consuming and polluting activities. Among these pollutants, fine particles (PM) represent a...

    oral presentation

    Numerous quarry operations in Southeastern Nigeria offer employment opportunities for the locals and generate income for the government. These businesses do, however, frequently cause air pollution, and the deadliest is PM2.5 which has been found to have a deleterious impact on humans and the ecosystem. The Extech Model VPC300 sensor was used to measure PM2.5, PM10, and some meteorological...

    Air Pollution & Health Effects
    oral presentation

    Air Pollution and Health Impacts
    The onset of Covid-19 lock-downs support the fact that man-made activities greatly contribute to air pollution (Hammer et al. 2021)⁠. Exposure to major air pollutants such as particulate matter, ground-level ozone, NO2, SO2, CO, etc, is estimated to cause millions of deaths annually (Neira and Prüss-Ustün 2016; WHO 2023)⁠, and the burden is more pronounced in...
