Pollution, Mapped: What the Numbers Reveal About Accra’s Air

New Narratives and Joy FM Season 2 Episode 11

Across 13 municipal assemblies in Accra, detailed air quality monitoring has exposed hidden pollution hotspots, linking everyday activities to serious health risks.

Host, Michael Asharley, speaks with Dr. Joseph Ayitio, Managing Director of PSS Urbania, about how measuring pollutants like PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, and sulphur dioxide is changing planning, enforcement, and public awareness. 

As data makes the invisible visible, the episode asks a crucial question: now that we know where the problem is, will action follow?
