This research work addresses the impact of Aluminium smelting on air quality at Ikot Abasi environment arising from the operational activities of Rusal-Alscon plant. The research was conducted by the collection of in situ air quality samples from selected locations close to the plant. Air quality data, 60, km at Ikot Usung Ikono, Uyo from the plant location was used as a control sample. Air quality results showed marked differences in the air quality around the plant, compared to the standard and the control sample. This research therefore recommends adequate monitoring of the plant operations by the Nigerian Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) to ensure conformity to its emission standards.
