This paper discusses the activities and challenges of the Ghana Urban Air Quality Project (GhanaAQ), which aims to address significant air pollution challenges in urban Ghana, linking them to health and sustainability goals and highlighting the need for additional support and funding for equipment maintenance, including the use of locally built solar-powered sensors.

This paper investigates the levels of particulate matter (PM) pollution at traffic hotspots in Accra, Ghana, and its health impact on street traders. The findings underscore the significant health risks faced by street traders due to air pollution, highlighting the need for improved air quality monitoring and control measures in Sub-Saharan African cities.

This paper highlights the challenges of air pollution epidemiologic research in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the lack of reliable data on air quality and health impacts due to inadequate monitoring. It underscores the promise of low-cost air quality sensors to address these data gaps in urban areas and calls for field studies to validate their effectiveness in SSA's specific conditions.
