I have over 20 years\u2019 experience in teaching and research work on environmental pollution, covering air, water and soil pollution monitoring and modeling; ecological hazard and risk assessments as research tools for the determination of contaminant distribution as influenced by carbon production dynamics; monitoring and modeling Nigerian air quality for health risks of gaseous, particulates and persistent organic pollutants. I am internationally involved in air pollution, climate change, and environmental sustainability related researches. I am a trained Analyst under the Canadian Association for Environmental Analytical Laboratories (CAEAL) requirements at the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research (GLIER), University of Windsor, ON, Canada. I have supervised over 50 BSc projects, 70 MSc projects and 4 PhD students, with over 43 articles in reputable Local and International Journals, also 32 presentations at Local and International conferences. I am the founder and Group Lead of the Air Quality Monitoring Research group (AQMRG) of the University of Lagos, established to bridge air quality data gaps, monitor and model air pollutants at different locations in Nigeria, collaborating in global air quality monitoring programmes.&nbsp; I was the Nigerian Coordinator of the CLEAN-Air Forum 2024 in Lagos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/fcb6eaff94ba\/highlights-and-reflections-from-the-clean-air-forum-lagos-2024?e=a3cedd9b45\">https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/fcb6eaff94ba\/highlights-and-reflections-from-the-clean-air-forum-lagos-2024?e=a3cedd9b45<\/a><\/p>\n<p>My goal is to make AQMRG a Centre of Excellence for global air sensor evaluation and training.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Co-Chair US-Nigeria Air Quality Technical Working Group (2024 ongoing)<\/li>\n<li>Air quality champion\u2014One of the three brilliant women who are paving the way for cleaner air and healthier communities in Nigeria, South Africa and Mongolia.
