Lagos State<\/a> has been ranked 133rd in the world\u2019s most pol\u00adluted cities, in a latest survey by IQAir.<\/p>\n

Working on what it called historical data from 2017 to 2022, IQAir said the annual average PM2.5 concentration (\u03bcg\/m\u00b3) of the state is \u201cunhealthy\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLagos is experiencing some rather poor-quality air with a US AQI figure of 160, which classified it as \u2018unhealthy\u2019 based on the World Health Organisa\u00adtion\u2019s recommended figures from 2021,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

According to the report, La\u00adgos, with an estimated popula\u00adtion of 21 million as of 2018, has the concentration of its PM2.5 pollutant as 73.2 \u00b5g\/m\u00b3.<\/p>\n

The report explained that with such a level, \u201cit is rec\u00adommended that a good qual\u00adity mask is worn when going outside. Doors and windows should be kept closed so as to prevent the ingress of pollut\u00aded air in the home. All types of outdoor exercise should be abandoned until air quality improves.\u201d<\/p>\n

While ranking Nigeria as the 10th most polluted country in Africa, with an air pollution rate of 44.8 percent, IQAir said an estimated 11,200 premature deaths were recorded in 2018 as a direct result of poor air quali\u00adty with 60 percent of the fatality children under the age of five.<\/p>\n

The report further noted that \u201cany type of air pollution is detrimental to health, but the worst type of pollutant is the microscopic PM2.5 particles, which can easily penetrate the lungs, due to their small size. This study found the levels in Lagos were over 7 times the target figure suggested by the World Health Organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report gave a negative prognosis of the situation pointing out that \u201ccasualties, as a result of the air pollution crisis in Nigeria, has increased by nearly 40 percent over the last few decades,\u201d without re\u00adceding.<\/p>\n

It said, \u201cNigeria has some of the highest levels of unhealthy air quality across the African continent. Overall, Nigerian cit\u00adies contain the most unhealthy air quality with 10 urban areas being classified on a list of 30 cities in Africa with the most unhealthy air quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report put the causative factors as those from ambient air pollution, which it said \u201cis caused by pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3) and fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres or PM2.5.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are dangerous be\u00adcause they can easily bypass the body\u2019s natural defence sys\u00adtem and enter the bloodstream, contributing to mortality and morbidity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the WHO guideline for the annual mean PM 2.5 concentration level is 10 \u00b5g\/ m\u00b3, Lagos has recorded levels of 68 \u00b5g\/m\u00b3 in the same range as other polluted megacities such as Beijing, Cairo and Mumbai.\u201d<\/p>\n

To arrest the alarming de\u00advelopment, the report said, \u201cThe introduction of efficient electric energy will decrease the need for generators, which produce unhealthy air in house\u00adholds and work environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria has access to sus\u00adtainable energy resources that are capable of providing power to its citizens. These methods are safer for the environment and the usage of them decreas\u00ades the use of gasoline-powered generators, thus decreasing pollution.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn rural areas, Nigerians can reduce air pollution in the household by substituting fuel\u00adwood, coal and charcoal for bio\u00adgas, which is a form of biofuel that is made from the decay of natural waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cBiogas will provide sus\u00adtainable options for preparing food and heating the household at the same time eliminating air pollution both inside the household and the outside en\u00advironment.<\/p>\n

\u201cLagos is making some prog\u00adress in introducing laws but they still need to be executed. In 2017, standards for sulphur content in fuel were lowered to reduce emissions: from 3,000 parts per million (ppm) to 50 ppm for diesel; and from 1,000 ppm to 150 ppm for gasoline.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmissions from industries could be lowered with the use of newer, better technologies such as solar power. The garbage sit\u00aduation needs to be addressed due to the huge amount of rub\u00adbish that is buried, burned or just dumped.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeams need to monitor this situation and act accord\u00adingly when the perpetrators are caught.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch of the plastic could be recycled instead of being burnt as it is now.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, daily waste removal from households would also help to properly dis\u00adpose of garbage, which reduces the fragmentation of waste and prevents odours forming that contribute to air pollution<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
