Ibadan's air quality reflects the flat southwestern Nigeria Yoruba highland at 227 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the vehicle density, informal industrial, and biomass burning corridor generating elevated PM2.5 and black carbon. The tropical wet season's convective rain provides periodic cleansing, while dry season Harmattan dust and agricultural burning elevate PM10 and Ibadan generally maintains moderate to elevated West African forest zone major city readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Ibadan?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Ibadan are traffic on the surrounding roads, farming and agricultural processing, as well as charcoal and wood-burning, particularly once windblown dust events occur. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. This is most noticeable during spring and autumn wind events.
Are air quality levels in Ibadan 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.
