Conakry's air quality reflects the flat West African Atlantic coastal position on the Kaloum Peninsula of Guinea, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the port, mining, and vehicle density corridor generating elevated PM2.5 and black carbon. Consistent Atlantic trade winds and Gulf of Guinea breezes provide maritime ventilation, while dry season Harmattan dust from the Sahara elevates PM10 and Conakry generally maintains moderate to elevated West African Atlantic coastal capital readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Conakry?
In Conakry, road traffic along with quarrying activity are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when windblown dust events occur. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise.
Are air quality levels in Conakry based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
