In this study Sauvage and co-authors describe the dynamical processes that determine the ozone concentrations in the lower troposphere over Lagos, Nigeria, in the dry and wet season. As case studies two flights were selected from the MOZAIC database, descending at Lagos airport on 30 January 2002 resp. on 14 July 2003. For each case, the observed vertical profiles of ozone and carbon monoxide a...

concentrations of eight metals namely, cr, mn, fe, co, ni, cu, zn and pb were examined in the surface sediments of discharge channels of six industries in lagos using x-ray fluorescence spectrometry.these channels drain into the isolo canal which empties into the lagos lagoon and eventually into the atlantic ocean. this study was conducted to detect any contamination levels within the sediments...

A major concern in modern monetary theory is the construction of tractable models where money is essential. Lagos and Wright (2005) pioneered a class of models that address this concern. The key ingredient of the Lagos–Wright framework is that trade alternates between centralized and decentralized markets. In this paper, unlike the previous literature, we explicitly model the process of exchang...

The first case of HIV in Nigeria was reported in 1986 in a sexually-active 13 years old girl, and soon afterwards, HIV infection was identified among commercial sex workers in Lagos and Enugu. Cases of HIV infection were occasionally reported from various parts of the country and have been growing steadily (1). Now, Nigeria has the largest HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Sahara Africa (2). A syphilis-...

Lagos State has grown from 300,000 and 500,000 in 1950 and 1991 to an unprecedented population of 15.7 million (Mabogunje, 2002). Already, it is projected to have a population of 25 million by 2015 which will make Lagos the third largest megacity after Tokyo and Bombay and a population of 29 million by 2020, w ith an annual grow th rate of 8 %( UNCHS, 1996; George, 2010; LWC, 2011).

Background. Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and about 70% of all cancer deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries. The cancer mortality pattern is quite different in Africa compared to other parts of the world. Extensive literature research showed little or no information about the overall deaths attributable to cancer in Nigeria. Aims and Objectives. This study aims at p...

Over the years, there has been an obvious pollution problem in Lagos area, Nigeria with high population of over eleven million and the near absence of waste management infrastructures. Concentrations of some pollution parameters and trace elements (temperature, pH, salinity, SO42-, NO3-, PO43-, F-, DO, BOD, COD and coliform, Cr, Co, Ni, Ag, Cd and Pb) were determined from water bodies of Isolo ...
