Monrovia's air quality reflects the flat Liberian Atlantic coastal position on the Mesurado River peninsula, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the port, vehicle density, and informal industrial 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 contributes PM10 and Monrovia generally maintains moderate to elevated West African Atlantic coastal capital readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Monrovia?

Monrovia usually sees its poorest air quality when road traffic coincides with periods when dry spells bring strong winds. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather.

Are air quality levels in Monrovia 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.
