Abstract

The atmosphere of our country is always polluted by industrial, domestic and environmental waste. Although many environmental agencies like Enugu state waste management agency (ESWAMA) have been given the order to maintain the environment, the mixing up of populated gases and good ones are yet to be controlled. This has led so many individuals, groups and companies into production of deodorant both liquid and solid forms, but few or none of these producers has actually monitored the antimicrobial effect of their deodorant on atmospheric organisms. This research work looked into producing liquid deodorants and its antimicrobial effect on microorganisms isolated from the atmosphere. Prepared petri dishes of corresponding media where exposed to the atmosphere for bacterial (Nutrient Agar) and fungal (Sarbouraud Dextrose Agar) isolation. Gram staining and various biochemical tests were carried out on the bacterial isolates for proper identification; microscopic identification of the fungal isolates was done as well
