ANOMALOUS FEATURES OF BLACK CARBON AND PARTICULATE MATTER OBSERVED OVER RURAL STATION DURING OSUN

Because to RSPM, it has been observed that death and morbidity rates rise mostly during the Osun-Osogbo period (respirable suspended particulate material). Particles of matter and poisonous chemicals generated during festivals such as Osun-Osogbo, for example, have been researched extensively by several researchers in Nigeria and worldwide. Short-term environmental air quality degradation, poor health impacts, and long-term climatic change are all discussed.

This paper focuses on methods for capturing mass concentrations of various particles, primarily black carbon aerosols, which are some of the most sensitive and representative of fireworks' negative impact on environmental air quality, dispersion and transport phenomena, potential health effects, and combat processes. The reported results over a typical rural station have been confirmed by in situ satellite data and linked to local meteorological and human activities associated with the Osun-Osogbo festival.

Scientists must be established who can assist in the establishment of safe respiratory levels for human health, taking into account the impact of various pollutants at various damaging levels on human health. It is proposed that preventive steps be taken by prohibiting the use of fireworks during celebrations. These solutions could be considered in the interest of human health and the safety of our planet, resulting in a healthy environment.
