Abstract: This work is a geospatial analysis of air dispersion for the purpose of establishing the concentration trend of air pollutants within the study area. Pollutants of consideration are SO2, NO2, CO, H2S, NH3, VOCs, CH4, PM2.5, PM10, TSP, while area of interest are Port Harcourt, Obio/Akpor, Eleme, Oyigbo, Etche and Ikwerre Local Government Areas. This is an approach to identify the hotspots and how they are dispersed to impact on other parts of the region. This is an attempt to predict future pollution trends, but an approach to gain understanding of the general scenarios of air quality status and how they impact on receptor areas some kilometers away from the hotspot. Pollution hotspots are locations where emissions from specific sources such as water or air pollution may expose local populations to elevated health risks and environment degradation. It indicates areas with strong pollution sources and high industrial activities of adverse effect
