Vehicle emission control measures for environmental sustainability (pollution control) regulation: case of the Gambia

According United Nations (UN), world urbanization and its resultant population growth have risenapproximately fivefold between 1950 to 2011 (from 0.75 Billion to 3.6 Billion). The Gambia’s population was61.27% higher as of 2018 the highest value over the past 58 years. The Gambia has a high level of...
