Appraisal of Sulphur Contaminants from Transportation in Urban Zaria, Nigeria

Abstract: As a step towards remediation of sulphur contaminants, this study used a Crowcon Gasman (gas detection instrument) to collect and analyze Sulphuric gas samples from densely populated areas of urban Zaria. The results showed varying concentrations of Sulphur Dioxide (SO 2 ) and Hydrogen Sulphide (H 2 S). The high concentrations of these pollutants detected can be attributed to increased population growth, increased production of gaseous wastes and increased number of vehicular movement. The results indicate als… Show more

“…It is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Nickel is one of the transition metals, which is hard and ductile [7]. Pure nickel, powdered to maximize the reactive surface area, shows a significant chemical activity but larger pieces are slow to react with air under standard conditions because an oxide layer forms on the surface and prevents further corrosion [8].…”
