Urban Air Quality Management at Low Cost Using Micro Air Sensors: A Case Study from Accra, Ghana.

ABSTRACT: Urban air quality management is dependent on the availability of local air pollution data. In many major urban centers of Africa, there is limited to nonexistent information on air quality. This is gradually changing in part due to the increasing use of micro air sensors, which have the potential to enable the generation of ground-based air quality data at fine scales for understanding local emission trends. Regional literature on the application of high-resolution data for emission source identification in this region is limited. In this study a micro air sensor was colocated at the Physics Department, University of Ghana, with a reference grade instrument to evaluate its performance for estimating PM_2.5 pollution accurately at fine scales and the value of these data in identif
