West Africa is one of the fastest growing and fastest urbanizing regions in the world. This rapid growth is leading to ever worsening air quality for nearly 5% of the world’s population. Combined with the fact that West Africa is periodically subject to dust outflow from the Sahara Desert(the Harmattan)
