Urban Lagos faces significant air pollution challenges due to rapid industrialization and vehicular emissions. A systematic review of peer-reviewed articles from databases including Web of Science and Scopus, focusing on studies published between and. Keywords included 'air pollution', 'Lagos', 'urban air quality', and 'control measures'. Findings indicate that vehicular emissions are the primary source of urban air pollution in Lagos, accounting for approximately 65% of total pollutants. Urban planning interventions such as implementing congestion charges and promoting public transportation have shown promise in mitigating air pollution. Policy-makers should prioritise the enforcement of emission standards for vehicles and promote sustainable urban development strategies to improve air quality. The empirical specification follows Y=₀+^ X+, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
