CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Air pollution has been of major concern throughout the world due to the health effects on human,animal and materials. This issue is receiving much attention, due to the fact that both in developed and developing countries there has been an increase in urbanization due to higher activities in transportation and industrialization (Abiye et al., 2013). The growing concerns about the health implications of air, water, and soil pollution to ecosystem have led to the establishment of agencies which are saddled with the responsibility of combating the adverse effects (Ezeh et al., 2014). Examples of these organization, agencies and departments are World Health Organisation (WHO), United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), United Nations (UN), and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) from India. The local, national and international agencies are working and concentrating on pollutions in the environment and publishing and issuing documents to improve the air quality.
