Assessment of CO, CO2 and Suspended Particulate Matter Emissions
Journal Title: Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies - Year 2007, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
The concentrations of carbon oxides (CO and CO2) and suspended particulate matter at Benue Cement Company (BCC) and Tse-Kucha community was investigated. Results obtained, shows that concentrations of carbon dioxide of 34.40ppm, 39.50 ppm, 48.50 ppm, 78.55 ppm, 65.25 ppm, 26.80 ppm and 29.5 ppm for quarry, raw mill, cement mill, Kiln, packing house, limestone stockpile and Tse-Kucha community respectively were below the maximum standard natural concentration of CO[sub]2[/sub] in atmosphere of 600ppm while concentrations of CO (1.25ppm - 4.00ppm) measured in all the sample stations were below the Nigerian Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and WHO max limit of 10 ppm - 20 ppm for an 8-hourly average time. Lastly, the concentrations of suspended particulate matter of 375 μg/m[sup]3[/sup], 338 μg/m[sup]3[/sup] and 290 μg/m[sup]3[/sup] at the cement mill, packing house and raw mill respectively were also above the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) Guidelines and Standards for Ambient Air Quality which stipulates a range of 150 μg/m[sup]3[/sup] to 230 μg/m[sup]3[/sup] for a 24- hourly average.
