Investigation and Quantification of Carbon Footprint in Lagos Megacity

The presence of carbon in an environment indicates the need for urgent attention on air quality control. Lagos mega city is presently experiencing developmental projects associated with carbon emission potentials, which are yet to be quantified; hence, this study identified and quantified the source...
