Exhaust Hydrocarbon Emission Concentration Level in Abeokuta Metropolis, Ogun State, Nigeria: A Case Study of Commercial Motorcycles (Okada)
Keywords:
2-stroke, commercial motorcycles, emissions, total petroleum hydrocarbons.Abstract
Transportation, especially the use of 2-stroke motorcycles has been a key contributor to air pollutants, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide alike, mostly in the developing countries. High rate of unemployment amongst the teeming youth population in Nigeria have led to the use of different
