| Abstract: | Abstract:This research work was carried out in Delta State, Nigeria in the urban and rural areas with the aim to investigate the effect of climate change on the air quality of the survey areas, to ascertain its impact on the environment and to compare the overall results of the air quality assessment with the Air Quality Index (AQI) ratings, since there has been a growing global interest on climate change and its effect, especially on the environments/ humans. Climate change is caused by numerous factors, namely; increased CO2, deforestation, ozonelayer depletion, and greenhouse gas emission into the atmosphere by natural and man-made activities. Air quality status of the sampled areas were analysed using Gasman Air Monitoring Meter (Models 1200-19831) and Air Ae Steward Meter (Haz-Dust Tm; PM2.5 and PM10, Model: HD1000). The results of the air quality assessment in the urban and rural areas of the state analysed were in the ranges of 113.00-133.00 µg/m3 for PM2.5, PM10 (153.30-179.67 µg/m3), relative humidity (92.33-95.00 %) and wind speed (1.07-1.13 m/s). Other results in (ppm) were: SO2 (0.63-0.73), NO2 (0.40-0.76), CO (147.30-266.50), CO2 (16,860.00-28,900.00). The air quality Index (AQI) ratings of the obtained results showed that, the area with low industrial activities (rural) was rated from poor (D) to very poor (E) while in the area with high industrial activities (urban), it was rated from very poor (E) to hazardous (F). |
