The study determine the level of Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide emitted by automobiles as it affects arable soils in Gombe local government Area in Gombe state- Nigeria. Data were collected through the use of crown gasman detection machine for the period of 30days from April, 18-17th May, 2016. An average of monthly concentration reading of 1080 samples was taken from the selected arable soils within the local government. Data recording was made in the morning, afternoon and evening for all period of 30 days. The result reveal that average monthly concentration of burning fuels emitted over the arable soils exceeded the minimum of permissible limited set by federal ministry of environment. It was recommended that air pollution monitory station should be established to regulate air pollution in the study area.
