Sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere at Nairobi industrial area and its environs was measured using pararosaniline method. Higher concentrations were recorded in the morning hours (14.2-112.0μgm3) than in the afternoon (14.2-112μgm3). The industrial area had higher monthly average concentrations (57.2-143.2μgm3)than residential sites (18.2-64.3μ3 ). The months characterised by unfavourable dispersion conditions (June-September) showed higher concentrations (15.5-175.5μgm3) than those months with favourable dispersion conditions (October-November): (14.2-157.8μgm3)
