"How bad is air pollution in Africa? If only we knew." Our latest study, led by Mariachiara Di Cesare, Mark R. Miller and Marvellous .O. Adeoye, and supported by the World Heart Federation and Clean Air Fund, highlights critical gaps in Africa's air quality data. Read more in African Arguments 👇

"Air pollution and heart disease are undermining Africa’s future." Dr Mark R. Miller (The University of Edinburgh, WHF Air Pollution and Climate Change Expert Group), and Prof Mariachiara Di Cesare (University of Essex, WHF Science Committee) talked to Context Newsroom, the digital platform of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, about their latest research on the impact of #AirPollution and cardiovascular disease in Africa. The research warns that only 24 out of 54 African countries have any system in place to monitor air quality. Even more concerning, only six academic studies have been completed on the impact of air pollution on cardiovascular health across the continent. This lack of monitoring and data limits efforts to create effective policies and interventions to protect the health of African populations. A big thank you to Context for helping us highlight this alarming issue. Read the full article here: lnkd.in/dvnxXFgN Learn more about our research here: lnkd.in/dQdBHpEX
