Air Quality Impact Assessment Report of the Proposed Base Transceiver Station (Bts)
AIR QUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
OF THE PROPOSED BASE TRANSCEIVER STATION (BTS)
October, 2012
1.0 Introduction
The sources of ambient air pollution, especially in urban environments, are often quite diverse. These sources can be broadly classified as stationary, mobile and area emission sources. Emissions of pollution from these three classes of sources typically result in complex spatial and temporal distributions of ambient air pollution concentrations. Emission inventories form a cornerstone for planning a monitoring strategy.
This section of the Environmental Impact Assessment of Etisalat Base Trans-receiver Station (BTS) examined the baseline condition of the project area and to evaluate the likely air quality impacts associated with all the different phases of the Project.
The study was carried out at the two (2) Etisalat proposed base stations B3467 and B5169 located in Osun State. Figure 1 shows the map of Osun state indicating the L.G.A where the proposed project locations are located in Osun State.

This assessment involves the measurement of air quality data (such as Ammonia (NH3), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Volatile Organic Carbon (VOC); micro climatic data and noise level measurement at strategic locations within the proposed project area.
Fieldwork took place on Monday 1st to Wednesday 3rd October 2012 taking into consideration design plan of four sampling locations strategically located within and around each of the proposed site. Table 1 shows the description of the sampling locations with their coordinates.
