1.1 Background of the Study
Pollution is a pressing environmental issue in Kano State's industrial zones, where high levels of emissions and waste pose significant risks to public health and ecosystems. Traditional pollution monitoring systems often fail to provide real-time, accurate data necessary for effective intervention. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative solution, offering capabilities such as real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and automated reporting.
AI-driven pollution monitoring systems leverage IoT devices, machine learning algorithms, and remote sensing technologies to detect and analyze pollutants in air, water, and soil. These systems can provide actionable insights to regulatory authorities, enabling prompt responses to environmental violations (Garba & Musa, 2024). This study examines the role of AI in monitoring pollution in Kano State’s industrial zones and its potential to improve environmental management.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Kano State’s industrial zones face severe pollution challenges, with traditional monitoring methods proving inadequate for addressing the scale and complexity of the problem. AI offers innovative solutions, but its adoption in pollution monitoring in Nigeria is limited. This study investigates the role of AI-driven systems in addressing these challenges and improving environmental sustainability in Kano State.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
- To analyze the impact of AI-driven systems on pollution monitoring in Kano’s industrial zones.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of AI technologies in identifying and mitigating environmental risks.
- To identify barriers to the adoption of AI in pollution monitoring in Nigeria.
1.4 Research Questions
- How do AI-driven systems enhance pollution monitoring in industrial zones?
- What is the effectiveness of AI technologies in mitigating environmental risks?
- What barriers affect the adoption of AI technologies in pollution monitoring?
1.5 Research Hypothesis
- AI significantly enhances the accuracy of pollution monitoring in Kano State’s industrial zones.
- The use of AI-driven systems reduces environmental risks caused by industrial activities.
- Infrastructural and financial constraints hinder the adoption of AI in pollution monitoring in Nigeria.
1.6 Significance of the Study
The study provides insights into the application of AI in addressing pollution challenges in industrial zones. Its findings are relevant to environmental regulators, policymakers, and technology developers seeking to promote sustainable industrial practices.
1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on the application of AI-driven pollution monitoring systems in Kano State’s industrial zones. It does not cover other regions or non-industrial sources of pollution. Limitations include the availability of data on AI adoption and the nascent state of such technologies in Nigeria.
1.8 Operational Definition of Terms
