ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to investigate the effect of combustion of fossil fuels on the
environment a case study ofKisumu City. The objective of the study were to find out
the end products of automobile and industrial combustion of fuels, to device ways of
reducing amount of pollutant emissions fuel sources with low pollutant emissions.
The study used both the qualitative and quantitative approaches using the deliberate
sampling method since only specific categories of people were conducted. The
sampling procedure of the sample was random. The research instruments used to
collect data were questionnaires, observation and interviews. The data was analyzed
through coding by tallying frequencies, calculating percentages and representing the
information using thematic approach on tables, pie chart and bar graphs.
'The study established that poor maintenance of motor vehicle and industries caused
air pollution, use of fuels with low pollutant emissions was away of controlling smoke
pollution and use of leaded fuels was an alternative source of fuel with low pollutant
emissions. From the findings of the study the following recommendations were made;
amendment of both traffic and industrial law to minimize on amount of pollutant
emissions; use of fuel with additives and sensitization of people on effects of
environmental degradation.
