Background of the Study
Air quality has become a growing concern in industrial areas worldwide, particularly in developing regions. Kano State, known for its vibrant industrial zones, faces increasing challenges of pollution due to emissions from factories, vehicular traffic, and unregulated waste disposal. Poor air quality affects not only public health but also environmental sustainability. Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as machine learning and predictive analytics, have made it possible to monitor and analyze air quality in real-time. These tools can identify pollution trends, predict future conditions, and recommend mitigation strategies.
AI-powered air quality monitoring systems employ sensors to gather data on pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and particulate matter (PM2.5). This data is then processed using algorithms to generate actionable insights. Implementing such tools in Kano’s industrial zones could bridge the gap between existing manual monitoring systems and the need for more comprehensive solutions.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the advancements in AI tools, Kano State lacks adequate adoption of technology-driven solutions for air quality monitoring. Current practices are limited to sporadic measurements that do not provide sufficient data for informed decision-making. This gap in technology adoption has led to unchecked industrial emissions, posing significant risks to public health and environmental balance.
