"The second take-home message is that A Clean Environment Is Essential for Healthy Living: The more we don't care about our environment, the more it will become polluted with contaminants and toxins that have a harmful impact on our health," she adds

@AIMS_Next in collaboration with @REMA_Rwanda
recently launched the Kigali City Framework for Noise and Air Quality Monitoring Campaign that will see over 13 sensors installed across #Kigali to monitor the level of air and noise pollution.

We also show that our analysis can track the progress of urban planning decisions, policies, and interventions, through a case study of how activities, and mobility changed in different neighbourhoods of Accra during the COVID-19 lockdown.

We discuss how these insights can inform planning and #policy decisions for making Accra, and other cities in Africa, from a #transport, #pollution, #sanitation and #livelihood perspective as they expand and develop

New paper alert! What we can see in the urban environment around us provides a wealth of information on social, environmental & mobility factors impacting urban health. But these visual cues are currently an untapped resource🏙️ @sierraclark2 @ThickNavyRain

Has been one heck of a journey working on this paper with @ThickNavyRain @mathwis_emily and many @Pathways2Equity colleagues! So glad it is finally out :) And for those interested in the approach, the code/guides to be published on the Pathways website (🙌 Ricky)

Image-based estimation models work better when transferring between cities that share similar sources of pollution. This has important implications as an appealing promise of using street imagery for air pollution estimation is its potential for scaling globally at a low cost

Model performances were high and comparable to traditional land-use regression and dispersion models when training and testing images from the same city. 🧵

Can #streetviewimagery predict #airpollution in #London, #Vancouver & NYC? Are these models transferable to Hong Kong & #Accra? @EsraSuel & co from @ImperialSPH @UBC NASA et al answer these Qs in new paper mdpi.com/2072-4292/14/14/342…. Happy to have contributed a small part to this 🧵

Important findings!

We found a reduction in #PM25 pollution when compared with a decade ago, but the present levels still exceed local and international public health guidelines by ∼2–4 folds

Great job @abosedealli and @sierraclark2

Our new @Pathways2Equity paper ERL led by @allliabosede is finally published! Spatiotemporal descriptive results from a large-scale high resolution measurement campaign of PM2.5 and #BlackCarbon in the city of #Accra, #Ghana

Nice work

Working on some #SciComm here!To disseminate the results from my recent paper on #noisepollution in #Accra #Ghana, I created a web platform (#R & #Github) with interactive and animated content! Check it out and let me know what you think :) sierraclark16.github.io/Nois…
