Leveraging AI to Combat Air Pollution in Uganda's Capital

Uganda's capital, Kampala, is tackling its severe air pollution problem with AI-powered air quality monitors. With pollution levels nearly eight times above WHO's safety recommendations, these AI systems are strategically deployed to identify hotspots and drive interventions.

Key Objectives

• Reduce pollution-related illnesses, notably among the vulnerable populations.
• Facilitate immediate responses and policy implementations, such as traffic management and public health initiatives.

With over 7,250 pollution-related deaths recorded in recent years, this AI-driven approach is pivotal in enhancing life quality and public health in Uganda.
