Spatiotemporal distribution model of air quality parameters within Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO)

Introduction: Air pollution in cosmopolitan cities is increasingly becoming unprecedented with attendant effects on human and biophysical attributes. Materials and methods: The study was carried out at Federal University of Technology (FUTO) and environs in the southeastern Nigeria. Some ambient air quality parameters (CO, CO2, NO2, CH4 and noise) were sampled and. measured at seven unique locations (OR, ER, FR, EJ, IM, FM and FJ) with multi sampler devices, using air differential technique during the morning, midday and evening periods. Results: The average pollutant results show increased concentrations at the different locations when compared to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) than Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv) thresholds (FMEnv>CO2NO2CH4More
