Yayın Human risk assessment of heavy metals present in four motor park soils in Lagos State, Nigeria(CRC Press, 2024-01-01) Akaiso, EmmanuelThe belief that heavies metal pollution is only gotten high intense industries is a common perception of people living in rural areas (Brown et al. 2003). In reality, nowadays, roadways and automobiles are considered to be one of the largest sources of heavy metals. Lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) are the most common heavy metals produced from automobiles. Small or little amounts of other metals like nickel and cadmium are found to originate from carparks, bus stops, the roadside, and automobile exhaust (Brown et al. 2003).Yayın Innovation diffusion and technology acceptance theory(CRC Press, 2024-01-01) Akaiso, EmmanuelInnovation can be defined as the transformation of ideas, goals, visions, and dreams of invention into valuable goods and services for people to exchange for an amount of money. Something everyone on earth must experience is changing, and many people are too afraid to experience this. As a result, they never move ahead in life because they have allowed themselves to be captives of fear, allowing themselves to be unable to alter their circumstances. After the difficult experience of the past twenty-four months due to COVID-19, the eyes of everyone have been opened to how important change, adaptability, and flexibility are. Looking back, we can see that change is particularly important for everyone. That is exactly where innovation comes in (Stenberg 2016). To paraphrase Steve Jobs, innovation differentiates a leader from a follower.Yayın Analysis of particulate matter in street dust of middle and eastern parts of Northern Cyprus(CRC Press, 2024-01-01) Akaiso, EmmanuelAir pollution is the negative shift and change in the composition of the environment comprising of gaseous components and particulate matter (PM). Particulate matter can either be coarse particles, fine particles, and ultrafine particles; the composition of particulate matter depends on the sources from which it came from (Li et al. 2018). Combustion sources such as traffic emission or residential heating produce carbonaceous particles, they are carbon based as they pull along organic chemicals such as reactive metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Desert dust and mineral dust from agriculture produce inorganic particles. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitric oxide (NO), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds, and carbon monoxide (CO) are toxic gaseous pollutants that adds to the formation of particle from the complex atmospheric photochemical reactions, they are called secondary particles (Bourdrel et al. 2017).
