1. Introduction The ever increasing population due to rapid industrialization and technological advancements, traffic congestion resulting from increase in motor vehicles and urbanization contribute to a large extent toxic smoke pollution [1]. The degree of intensity and composition of the pollutants vary depending on the level of economic development and industrialization [2]. Owing to frequent power outages experience in Nigeria, a number of households and commercial establishments use electric generators. The smoke releases from these generators change the atmospheric composition of air in the immediate environment and affect the well-being of residents [3,4]. Again, the dependency of indigenes on use of charcoal pot and sawdust packed stove as energy source are major causes of indoor/outdoor smoke pollution [5,6].
