Abstract :
Environmental media of Dr. Abubakar Sola
Saraki memorial abattoir, Akerebiata, Ilorin.The
quality of air around the abattoir was assessed for
PM2.5, PM10, HCHO and Volatile Organic
Compounds. Result revealed that analyzed data were
above WHO standards, the increase in the values could
be due to burning of animal and pollution from animal
waste which has deleterious effect of living organisms
and system. It was revealed some these pollutants has
relative high and low readings in the day and at dawn
respectively which is also applicable to the temperature
readings. High temperature is favorable to thermophiles
biological activities eveidently shown by the outpour of
gases. There could be consideration towards re-siting of
the abattoir to a different location. Recommendations
were proffered which includes: Reduction of pollutants
emitted from the abattoir through sensitization of
butchers and meat sellers in the abattoir, Government
agencies should swing into action to regulate the level of
pollutants released into the environment on routine
basis while also empower the EHOs to step up routine
inspection of Abattoirs to eliminate foreseeable threats
to public health.
