Ambient air pollution near petrochemical industries and chronic kidney disease risk: Integrating citizen science within an exploratory mixed methods study (2024)
Thesis
Okoye, O. C. A. Ambient air pollution near petrochemical industries and chronic kidney disease risk: Integrating citizen science within an exploratory mixed methods study. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

INTRODUCTION: The disproportionately high prevalence and severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the young population of low- or middle-income countries despite preventive interventions, is a matter of global concern. Air pollution is the leading...

Objective: Poor sleep quality adversely affects the overall well-being and outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it has not been well studied in Africans with CKD. We determined the prevalence of poor sleep quality and asso... Read More about Sleep quality and associated factors among patients with chronic kidney disease in Nigeria: a cross-sectional study.

‘Our bodies are not strong anymore’: a focus group study of health risk perception of ambient air pollution near a petrochemical industry (2023)
Journal Article
Okoye, O., Carnegie, E., & Mora, L. (2023). ‘Our bodies are not strong anymore’: a focus group study of health risk perception of ambient air pollution near a petrochemical industry. Journal of Public Health in Africa, 14(7), Article 2522. https://doi.org/10.4081/jphia.2023.2522

Background. Ambient air pollution has persisted in less-endowed communities, resulting in exposure to unhealthy pollutants. Epidemiological studies on air pollution have been mainly quantitative, with a dearth of information on community health risk...
