Ambient Air Quality and Noise Assessment in Eleme Communities, Rivers State, Nigeria

Problems caused by ambient air pollution on human and the environment can be averted steadily strictly monitoring of concentrations outdoor pollutants. Human activities have triggered changes in earths atmosphere. In this research, 7(Seven) selected Eleme communities, 4(four) zones each community 28(Twenty eight) sampling points all locations were assessed for CO, SO2 , NO2 NO, CO2 SPM, O2 noise level as well Meteorological parameters using methods recommended ASTM pollutants measurement meteorological parameters. Findings research showed that, measured CO (1.00 - 43.00 ppm) at Akpajo, Aleto Onne zone "B" exceeded stipulated limit NAAQS. Measured (0.00 1.30 "D" above permissible except Alode Ogale which 0.00 ppm through out zones. 3.10 NO 1.05 NAAQS Ogale. also limits. SPM(0.01 4.83 Levels given W.H.O residential area. Noise Level (40.20 102 dBA) Alesa, Aleto, Akpajo Ebubu order to address risk connected with identified study area, more endeavour should conveyed use renewable energy well, cleaner initiatives embarked upon.
