The quality of life and human activities are significantly impacted by several elements, one of which is the weather and climatic patterns. To measure the weather parameters requires weather stations which are expensive. Hence, there is a need to develop low-cost weather stations to make comprehensive meteorological data monitoring easy to attain across the world. The aim of this project was...
Air pollution, notably the presence of particulate matter, poses substantial hazards to both human health and the natural environment. The current particulate matter monitoring systems suffer from a practical limitation that they can measure particulate matter concentrations at only a single spatial point. This limitation constrains the ability to comprehensively understand the dynamics of...
Informed knowledge on the distribution of dust particles and humidity variations across certain geographical location offers innumerable benefits to humanity. Such information could guide astronomers to make informed decision when locating or carrying out their optical observation; Medical professionals can monitor and predict trends in lung and cardiovascular related diseases, and other host...
The issue of air quality in Africa has emerged as a critical public health concern. Initial assessments conducted in major African urban centers reveal that fine particulate concentrations exceed the thresholds recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). We developed two (2) mobile and fixed devices utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) to detect areas with high PM2.5 particle...
Single and mixed nano-crystalline semiconductor oxides were obtained through wet-chemistry synthesis in form of powders. They were used as functional materials to produce metal oxide (MOX) thick film gas sensors to be used in air pollutants monitoring (i.e. carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone and the total benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene). Portable monitoring units based on...
