Analysis involved frequency,arithmetic mean, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Mann-Whitney U test in SPSS. Resultsrevealed higher environmental sensitivity among Nigerian students, particularly males.Turkish students prioritized air pollution, while Nigerians focused on water pollution.No significant grade-level correlation was found in both countries, yet both showedpartial sensitivity to air pollution.
