Authors : Nathan Udoinyang .
Abstract
The sustainable study of air pollution in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria was examined in this research, with an emphasis on calculating the economic losses of sicknesses and early deaths due to air pollution. The study combines quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods including air quality monitoring, questionnaire surveys, and key informant interviews using a mixed-methods strategy. With a commensurate decrease in life expectancy of 2.5 years, the research discovers that air pollution in the Niger Delta Region causes an estimate of 12,000 early deaths annually. Each year, illnesses linked to air pollution in the area are thought to cost around $3.8 billion USD offensively. 4 trillion naira The findings of the study underline the need of immediate action to lower air pollution in the area, which includes policy changes to manage emissions from industry sources, cars, and other sources as well as more spending in healthcare infrastructure and services to overcome the health effects of air pollution. The policy suggestions of the study offer a template for solving the health and financial effects of air pollution in the Niger Delta Region so as to achieve sustainable environmental development, therefore adding to the expanding body of knowledge on the health and financial effects of air pollution in Nigeria.
