Three independent actors across Nigeria are building an air pollution monitoring network community of efforts to drive policy action. High-quality, open and real-time tracked data is enabling government agencies and researchers to identify hotspots, inform policy, and forge new partnerships to improve air quality. 

EPIC Air Quality Fund Awardee, WASARU, launches a particulate pollution monitoring network—providing the only open, real-time air quality data in the DRC.

Air pollution in Ghana is moving from being under-measured to being precisely tracked, thanks in large part to Ghana’s Environmental Protection Authority. The new data they are generating is supporting a new era in national pollution action.

Air pollution in The Gambia is moving from a hidden health crisis to the center of national policy, thanks to the efforts of the Permian Health Lung Institute. The new data is bringing a new era of environmental action.

Malawi’s first clean air rules are in the works, and mindsets are starting to change thanks to new data on pollution.

Air pollution in Mozambique is moving from being undermeasured to being more systematically and openly tracked, including near real-time sharing from several BLAZE Project monitoring sites. Leveraging high-quality data will allow researchers to conduct studies that inform policy and public health action.
