Abstract

Carbon monoxide measurement was carried out in some selected area in Lagos State using carbon monoxide detector (Model DSM 8922). Some of the results are shown in Table 1. CO emission with minimum value of 45 ppm to a maximum value of 835 ppm. The values vary from time to time and depended on the number and age of vehicles plying the road at that time. Some areas have exposure of 100 ppm and above, making them highly toxic to human beings.
