“…Since the relative affinity of CO for Hb is higher by 200 to 250 times than that of Oxygen, it can easily displace Oxygen in the blood to form Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), (Stork, 2014;Payne-James, 2016). Consequently, this ends up in hypoxemia, tissue hypoxia and when the COHb is circulated within the body it causes Asphyxia.…”

“…Consequently, this ends up in hypoxemia, tissue hypoxia and when the COHb is circulated within the body it causes Asphyxia. CO poisoning targets mostly organs with high oxygen demand such as the heart and central nervous system leading to dizziness, loss of coordination and headache as well as delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae (Stork, 2014;Payne-James, 2016;Lee and Bye, 2019;Betterman and Patel, 2014). Since CO health problems are dose dependent, the inhalation at low concentrations can cause fatigue even in healthy people while at higher quantities it can lead to reduce blood supply to the heart (myocardial Ischemia), irregular rhythm of the heart (cardiac dysrhythmia), lethargy (physical and mental dullness) due to carbon monoxide induced fatigue (Stork, 2014;Payne-James, 2016;Lee and Bye, 2019;Betterman and Patel, 2014).…”

“…In addition, spasm (seizures), coma and death as well as visual, auditory and memory losses mainly due to the destruction of the hippocampus has also been linked to Carbon monoxide poisoning. The challenging part of COHb formation according to Fawole, et al, (2019), lies in the body's difficulty of early detection and the complexities of its clinical diagnosis since it has similar coloration with the host (red blood cells) (Stork, 2014;Payne-James, 2016;Lee and Bye, 2019;Betterman and Patel, 2014).…”

The objective of this review is to provide an extensive assessment of the impacts of gas flaring from the ancient to modern life conditions at the Niger Delta as an area of global significance was reviewed from Millennium development goal (MDG) sustainable environmental perspective. These effects of flared gas took so long to persist due to its underdeveloped market, technological deficiency in its conversion into profitable byproducts and/or reinjection into geologic reservoirs until when needed. Findings show that these upstream emissions from flared gas have led to precipitation of acid rain and anthropogenic emissions like GHGs, VOCs, PM and over 250 toxins that have caused innumerable adverse effects on the Niger Delta communities and to the global community as climatic changes and global warming. Categorically, the environmental effects ranged between air, soil, water, heat, light and noise pollution as well as loss of biodiversity, vegetation and inflicted severe impacts on the health, and socioeconomic destitution of the Niger Delta residents including deterioration of the houses they live and shoreline threats as a coastal habitat. Despite the Nigerian government’s achievements in recovering the accrued carbon debt through liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects and other strategic measures as attested by international agencies, yet a detailed discussion on the constraints to effective anti-flare deadlines were also highlighted. Also, suggestions for substantial sustainability of the Niger Delta was made towards a climatic justice and zero-carbon footprint.

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.
