Description
Anedito Zico da Costa and co-authors published a study in 2024 on air quality in the Cabo Verde islands. Cheap sensors can blanket a country with live air data where lab stations are few. The team placed sensors across the islands to track dust and traffic gases.
The sensors read fine and coarse particles plus a traffic gas, after tuning against known values. Dust levels passed world health limits in all regions across the year. The capital, Praia, often showed the worst air, above a high daily mark in the dry season. From November to March, Sahara dust blown in on a known wind raised levels further. Other towns stayed lower and steadier. The authors back wider sensor nets paired with reference stations.
