      abstract = {Sound and air quality evaluation was conducted of HAM logistic base Abuloma. The East bollard co-ordinate is on 510554.43 to 510429.80 and Northings between 85136.50 to 85030.84.  The noise evaluation covered the work site, jetty, workshop, marine traffic and administrative block, while the air quality had two stations, one within the premises and the control at a school field.  The sound survey shows that the highest reading of 87dBA was found at the welding workshop. The offices recorded an average of 62dBA from facilities. On the air quality; the suspended particulate matter (SPM) ranged between 224.9?g/M3 and 262.9?g/m3as against 60.5 ?g/m3 at the control, possibly due to the high density of population and activities within the region. The recommendation is for regular environment auditing for the multiple companies of the region by the regulatory organ to save the workers and community from major health hazards.},
