A new report published in the journal Nature Geoscience addresses the escalating air pollution crisis in Africa, where air quality has been rapidly deteriorating for years. Despite this, a mere 0.01% of global air pollution funding has been allocated to Africa. The call to action from researchers is clear and urgent, highlighting key areas for collaboration:Establishing continuous air monitoring through a widespread network of sensors to track air pollution trends and progress. “This should be catalyzed by increased investment in interventions that are addressing air pollution. But by being proactive and doing these five actions there will be a reduction in air pollution levels, meaning healthier people and a healthier planet,” concluded Professor Pope.
