“…CO emission from trucks, generators (diesel), and in‐household fuel burning (firewood) in Lagos showed concentrations of 289.64 ppm (357.2 mg/m 3 ), 116.23 ppm (143.3 mg/m 3 ), and 5.75 ppm (7.092 mg/m 3 ), respectively (Akinyemi & Usikalu, ). In some areas of Lagos with high traffic (Uhuegbu, ), CO levels ranged from 45 to 835 ppm (55.5–1,030 mg/m 3 ). In Abuja, which is located in the center of the country, ambient CO emissions were greater than 40 ppm (49.3 mg/m 3 ) (Okobia, ).…”

Pollution has taken on a global dimension, and the effects are most obvious in developing countries. The effects take a toll on human health, animals, and vegetation, as well as on soil, air, and water quality. The objective of this article is to discuss the current relationships among pollution, environmental quality, and human health within the frame of anthropogenic activities in developing countries. In addition to personal observations, we review relevant literature on conditions throughout the developing world and case studies on conditions and activities in Nigeria. Key findings show the significant, adverse contributions to human health and environmental risk from current waste generation and handling practices, indoor and outdoor air pollution, wastewater and effluent generation and disposal, the hazardous nature and pollutionpotential of wastes, and the human behaviors that contribute to pollution in developing countries. There is an urgent need to create awareness among the various segments of society of the human health hazards posed by pollution as well as a need for the comprehensive development and enforcement of appropriate policies to prevent a descent into an abyss of deteriorating human and environmental health.

“…Some have used models while others have used portable emission monitoring devices. Emodi, Emodi, Murthy, & Emodi (2017); Shabbir & Ahmad (2010) and Maduekwe et al (2020) used the Long Range Energy Alternative Planning (LEAP) model to project future energy demand and GHG emissions in various cities while Uhuegbu (2013) and Nkwocha et al (2017) used portable emission monitoring devices to estimate emissions in various cities as well. In applying the IPCC guidelines for GHGs estimation, a typical bottom-up Tier 1 approach estimates emission from the consumer up to the producers while a typical top-down Tier 1 approach focuses on the economy as a whole and estimates from producers down to consumers.…”

Nigeria deployed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) top-down approach which generalizes transport emissions, is not detailed to localize solutions based on sectors. This identified gap was filled using IPCC’s Bottom-Up approach. Quantitative research design was employed using a descriptive survey to determine fuel consumption, vehicle and drivers characteristics through the use of a 30-item instrument named GHG emission estimation instrument (GHGEEI) to estimate the quantity of GHGs from vehicular emissions of commercial road passenger transport activities within the selected routes in Iyana-ipaja, differentiate emission estimates by vehicle categories (Tricycle referred to as ‘Keke’, Shuttle,‘Danfo’14, 18 and 22-seaters) and determine the relative contribution of each commercial road passenger vehicle type according to its age, fuel type, number of engine plugs, and frequency of service. Quota sampling technique was used to identify the strata and their frequency in the population and then convenience sampling was used to select 15% of the quota population for each stratum. Results from the study showed that 10,259.88kg/CO2e, of Carbon dioxide (CO2), 3.65kg/CO2e of Methane (CH4), and 0.58kg/CO2e of Nitrous Oxide (N2O) was emitted daily on the selected areas.
