Abstract

Long-term exposure to constituents of air pollutants has exerted serious health implications for both humans and plants, leading to a detrimental impact on the economy. This study investigated the level of particulate matter (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀) in different locations in Ondo State (OAUSTECH School Farm, New Garage Okitipupa, Local Palm Oil Processing Plant, Mechanic Workshop, and Metal Industry) using a Temtop LKC-1000S multi-combination gas detector. An anemometer was also used to measure the relative humidity, temperature, and wind speed, as well as their relationship with meteorological parameters. The mean concentration for PM_2.5 (mg/cm³) is 30.10 ± 4.46 (OAUSTECH School Farm), 29.83 ± 4.39 (New Garage), 16.33 ± 5.27 (Palm Oil Plant), 34.00 ± 4.57 (Workshop), 30.63 ± 4.56 (Metal Industry). The mean concentration for PM₁₀ is 66.03 ± 9.92 (OAUSTECH School Farm), 52.40 ± 8.35 (New Garage), 25.37 ± 8.47 (Palm Oil Plant), 47.67 ± 8.38 (Workshop), 42.17 ± 8.31 (Metal Industry). This study also investigates the sources and chemical composition of particulate matter, shedding light on the complex factors influencing air pollution. Incidental Life Cancer Risk (ILCR) values for the inhalation pathway for both adults and children fall within the acceptable range (10⁻⁹–10⁻⁸).

尼日利亚翁多州与颗粒物（PM2.5和PM10）相关风险的统计评估

长期接触空气污染物的成分对人类和植物的健康都产生了严重影响，对经济产生了不利影响。本研究使用Temtop LKC-1000S多组合气体检测仪调查了Ondo州不同地点（OAUSTECH学校农场、新车库Okitipupa、当地棕榈油加工厂、机械车间和金属工业）的颗粒物（PM2.5和PM10）水平。风速计也被用来测量相对湿度、温度和风速，以及它们与气象参数的关系。PM2.5的平均浓度（mg/cm3）为：OAUSTECH学校农场30.10±4.46、新车库29.83±4.39、棕榈油厂16.33±5.27、车间34.00±4.57、金属工业30.63±4.56。PM10平均浓度为66.03±9.92 （OAUSTECH学校农场）、52.40±8.35（新车库）、25.37±8.47（棕榈油厂）、47.67±8.38（车间）、42.17±8.31（金属工业）。本研究还研究了颗粒物的来源和化学成分，揭示了影响空气污染的复杂因素。成人和儿童吸入途径的附带生命癌症风险（ILCR）值均在可接受范围内（10−9-10−8）。
