Abstract: In this study, assessment of air quality indices and its possible health impacts in Asa-Dam industrial area, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria was carried out. The ambient air quality measurement was done with respect to Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and carbon mono-oxide. Sample collections were limited to air quality. Air quality sources were randomly selected within the vicinity of the study area, but at different distances. Also, the samples were collected at different locations sixty (60) points. The monitoring exercises were taken in the daytime, the air pollution measurements were carried out using direct reading, automatic in-situ gas monitors; Smart AS8900 Multi-Gas Monitor was used in measuring carbon monoxide (CO), BR-SMART-126 Portable 4-in-1 Air Quality Monitor was used to detect PM2.5, PM10, Garmin Dakota 20 GPS was used to collect Coordinates of sampling points.
