Overview

Longitudinal survey measured air pollutants in Bayelsa State, indicating potential health risks.

Key Points

  • High levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were recorded, leading to health concerns for sensitive groups.
  • Carbon monoxide (CO) levels varied from 0.001 to 0.021 µg/m³, peaking at site LB in August.
  • Air quality monitoring revealed spatial and temporal differences in pollutant levels across selected sites.
  • Despite generally good air quality, moderate pollution from CO and PM10 at certain locations poses risks.
