The pollution is all around us. In the smoke from vehicles… the burning of waste… and the dust hanging over busy roads in Accra. But for a long time, there was limited scientific data to show just how polluted some communities really are. And without data, it has been difficult for authorities to act. Clean Air Fund Lead in Ghana, Desmond Appiah, says that remains a major challenge across Africa. “The level of air quality data collection in Africa is very low. (0:43) Secondly, because it's low, we are not really putting the information in the hands of the policymakers, in the states that the policymakers can understand.” -  Desmond Appiah, Clean Air Fund
