An assessment of the impact of vehicular emission on proximate composition of roadside <i>Amaranthus hybridus</i> in Zaria Metropolis, Kaduna State, Nigeria
Abstract:The work assesses the effect of vehicular emissions at traffic hotspots in Zaria metropolis, Nigeria on the proximate composition of roadside Amaranthus hybridus. The concentration of all the pollutants [particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and hydrocarbons (CxHy)] were either below or within the Nigerian Ambient Air Quality Standard ( NAAQS) limit of 0.05 ppm, with the exception of CxHy at the morning peak hours with mean valu… Show more
