1.3 RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
HO: There is a significant difference between the carbon monoxide levels within high traffic areas and low traffic areas.
1.4 SCOPE OF STUDY
The
scope of this project covers studies of CO concentrations and
distribution within Enugu city comprising of such districts as Old Park
(high traffic) and Caritas University (low traffic). The project will
examine the distribution of air pollution situation within these areas
of the city. Data will be collected and analyzed for its relevance to
the question of how CO disperses in the environment. To this end, two
stations are chosen, one a high traffic (Old Park) and a low traffic
area that is primarily residential and have low traffic flow (Caritas
University). The essence of choosing these stations is to give a general
overview of what the air quality is like within the city, with one
station showing the residential profile while the other shows the
commercial profile. The study will focus on only Carbon Monoxide (CO)
gas. The gas will be measured for a nine hour period for one week at a
five minutes interval using carbon monoxide sensors.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This
study helps in the understanding and also the monitoring of carbon
monoxide in Enugu metropolis and this will help in knowing the level of
carbon monoxide being emitted in this area.
This study will also help
in minimizing the level of carbon monoxide in the environment and also
provide a means of solving the problems since motor bikes and vehicles
serves as the case study and the major contributor of carbon-monoxide in
outdoor activities.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Air pollutions pollutant showed that the extent of spreading depends on the motor vehicle traffic population of the area. This pollution strongly generated through combustion of fossil fuels presents difficult environmental challenge to societies as it could degrade the environment and affect human health and quality of life. Vehicular emissions are major contributors to air pollution in urban areas as they contain harmful gases. The levels of carbon monoxide has been investigated in two locatio ... Continue reading---
