Abstract
The Research examines the scope of environmental health hazards prevailing in the metropolis. The study aimed therefore to explore the ecological history of the city of Ilorin in order to identify the social geography of different kinds of health hazards which may be confounded with disease exposures. It also is to examine how health and environmental conditions are connected with poverty in cities and how these conditions have been (or can be) aggravated by the trend of global environmental change. Data used were from both primary and secondary sources. Simple statistical tools such as frequency tables, Percentages,Graphs and Plates were used to analyze the generated data.
