@dekadzewofia @d_westy@pallavipnt@dr_sun_shine Thanks Dr. Collins and your team for the support and collaboration. We are indeed very much appreciative of the support. Counties like The Gambia need your support to be able to come up with mitigation strategies to minimize the impact of Air Pollution.
#Clean Air for All
Air pollution is a threat to our survival as Africans. We cannot deal with it if we don't take ownership of it! I don't know everything but I do know how everything can work - that's what I have always wanted to take advantage of. We don't just need voices, we need actions too!
We are extremely humbled & thankful to our excellent speakers for the just ended "Snapshot AQ Workshop - The Gambia."
cc: @pallavipnt, @d_westy, #SeanWihera of @JoinClarity & @dr_sun_shine. We have learnt so much putting this together from the folks mentioned above. More soon...
@d_westy@cleanaironea @dekadzewofia Thank you Prof Dan for the presentation. It was really educative and you have equiped us with the information. Together we can improve air quality in our communities and make the world a safe place. Many thanks to Dr Collins for facilitating this historic occasion.
#CAMS-Net is all about ideas on how we can turn LCS data into actionable steps for epidemiologists, policy makers, citizen groups and related to mitigate AP for improved public health. ~Prof @d_westy. Snapshot AQ Workshop - The Gambia.
“Africa is a paradox which illustrates and highlights neo-colonialism . Her earth is rich, yet the products that come from above and below the soil continue to enrich, not Africans predominantly, but groups and individuals who operate to Africa’s impoverishment.”
In summary, air quality data is sparse globally. LCS can help but it's vital to calibrate them against reference grade monitors ~Prof @d_westy. Snapshot AQ Workshop - The Gambia.
We want to sustain this: maybe a @gofundme will help but why is Ghana not on the list of the countries? It will be great to keep this piece of work going. BTW what could have contributed to the high PM levels #airpollution at @UnivofGh in the early hours of the days in February?
