Title: Air Pollution in Africa: Creating Healthier Cities for Future
Abstract: Policies to reduce air pollution and protect health have been established in high-income countries. Such policies are, however, non-existent in Africa. My presentation will focus on the current status of air pollution in Africa and policy implications to reduce air pollution exposure in African cities.
