Electricity Generator Emission and Its Impacts on Air Quality to the Environment

Electricity generator emission is a silent and rampant epidemic due to its chemical constituents which are known to be toxic and carcinogenic to humans. Reports of death through electricity fume and other environmental pollutants have indeed become almost a daily staple in our country, Nigeria. The unreliable and epileptic power supply by the electric power companies has made many people rely heavily on power-generating sets of all kinds with dire implications. Air quality assessment needs to be carried out in both cities and rural areas to make the environment free from toxic contaminants. This work reviews the electricity generator emission and its impacts on air quality to the environment which has caused a growing number of deaths through inhalation of toxic contaminants from the electricity generator.
