Air pollution causes 1 in 9 deaths and is the biggest environmental health crisis we face.

While it’s not always visible, air pollution is the cause of some of our most common illnesses.

sensors.AFRICA uses low-cost sensor technology to identify and monitor toxic hotspots, so that citizens have actionable information and watchdogs have the evidence they need to hold the culprits accountable.

sensors.AFRICA is a non-profit initiative incubated by Code for Africa, with support from a coalition of global tech-for-good organisations.
