Impact of particulate matter and heavy metals emissions from automotive painting booths on ambient air quality

This study investigated the particulate and heavy metal emissions arising from automotive paint applications. A total of 22 sampling locations, represented as AQ1 - AQ22 for this study. Concentrations of particulate matters were determined using Aerocet 831 particle counter while...

Physicochemical quality and emission characteristics of artisanal‑refined diesel in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria and their air quality implications

This study provides a novel integrated assessment linking the physicochemical properties of artisanal-refined diesel in the Niger Delta region to its combustion emission behaviour. Diesel samples from 30 refining sites in Bayelsa and Rivers States were analysed using ASTM methods...

Atmospheric dispersion modelling of black carbon and PM₂.₅ emissions from an iron and steel plant in Ilorin, Nigeria

The iron and steel sector is one of the most aerosol-intensive branches of heavy manufacturing. In Nigeria, where environmental monitoring infrastructure remains sparse and industrial compliance enforcement is still developing, facilities such as the steel production plant in Ilo...
