Beschreibung
This book presents the recent findings on air quality in Africa from the virtual event of the first International Conference on Air Quality in Africa (ICAQ 2022), providing a comprehensive overview on many subjects of air pollution that affect African society. It highlights research progress in the chemical and physical characterization of air pollutants, their related respiratory and non-respiratory health effects, measurements and monitoring of air pollutants using satellite remote sensing and modeling techniques, currently implemented abatement policies in different African countries, existing research and networking infrastructures, and novel tools for monitoring air quality. The advances in the development of local cost-effective air quality monitoring tools in Africa as well as the use of low-cost sensors in quantifying air quality levels are presented. This book is an enrichment for researchers, experts, and advocates of air quality, atmospheric chemistry and physics, satellite remote sensing applications, and policymakers in Africa.
