Abstract
This study investigates contribution of linear vegetation to air pollution control on Ayetoro Campus Road, Ogun State, Nigeria. Vegetated and non-vegetated sections of the road were selected for the study. Air pollution data [Nitrogen Oxide (NO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Ozone (O3)] from January to December, 2024 were downloaded from Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) repository to 300 randomly generated locations in the selected sections of the road. Data were re- processed in ArcGIS 10.3 and subjected to statistical analysis at α = 0.05. Respective temporal concentrations of CO for vegetated and non-vegetated sections of the road showed significant fluctuations, being highest in February at 0.065 ppm and 30 ppm, and least in October at 0.035 ppm and 5 ppm. Ozone concentrations in non-vegetated section peaked in February at 33 ppm and dipped in October at 14 ppm contrasting sharply to a maximum-minimum of 0.13 - 0.11 ppm for the vegetated section. Results also showed that significantly (p = 0.001) higher concentrations of NO2 (0.12 ± 0.01 ppm and CO (22.50 ± 10.67 ppm) were observed in non-vegetated than vegetated sections of the road. However, O3 concentration was significantly (p = 0.0001) higher in vegetated (24.32 ± 10.95 ppm) than the non-vegetated (0.12 ± 0.01 ppm) section of the road. This study highlights the potential of linear vegetation as a low-cost and sustainable solution for improving air quality in sub-urban communities.
