Key Points

This research aims to analyze the variations of ambient air pollutants in Kigali over several years.
Conducted citywide monitoring of PM₂.₅, NO₂, and O₃ levels.
Analyzed spatial and temporal variations in air quality data.
Utilized high-resolution data from multiple monitoring sites.
Identified distinct spatial distribution patterns of PM₂.₅, NO₂, and O₃.
Observed significant temporal fluctuations in pollutant levels.
Provided insights that underline the need for targeted air quality management policies.

Implication

Multi-year monitoring reveals air pollution patterns in Kigali, suggesting critical implications for policy.

Abstract

Air pollution is increasingly concerning for the environment and health in Africa, yet high-resolution, reliable air data are limited. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of air quality in Kigali...
