“…Air pollution from indoor sources is the single largest contributor to the negative health effects of air pollution in Ghana. There has not been a policy for indoor air pollution regulated but various interventions including the introduction of a newly improved clean stove; promotion of the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and subsidized LPG cylinders for rural areas have been put in place 38 . However, in 2012, Ghana made plans for significant programmes to extend access to LPG in both rural and urban regions.…”

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution research has improved our understanding of major pollution sources and the quantification of their impact. Although several PM studies have been conducted in Accra, Ghana, in recent decades, few have offered an integrated knowledge of PM sources in the various sub-cities. The purpose of this study was to consolidate data and investigate additional aspects of PM investigations of Cantonments, a residential neighborhood in Ghanas capital. There is evidence of poor air quality in Accra, particularly during the dry season (Harmattan season). From December through February, a severely dry, dusty easterly or north-easterly wind sweeps over the West African coast, causing Harmattan. The PM2.5 concentrations for Cantonments for two years and the average monthly air quality indices were analysed and discussed. The results reveal the need to regularly check the daily air quality indices and curb their impacts since it has a notable health effect on the general public.
