NASA has deployed air sensors in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, as part of its Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols (MAIA) project. These sensors are designed to study the city’s air quality, with a specific focus on particulate matter.
A roof-mounted air sensor in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, is one of ten being utilized by NASA’s Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols (MAIA) to study air quality in the city. The sensors provide a detailed look at particulate matter that is 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter, also known as PM2.5.
PM2.5 is identified as one of the world’s deadliest forms of pollution. The MAIA project aims to gather data on this harmful pollutant to better understand its sources, distribution, and health impacts. The use of multiple sensors allows for a comprehensive analysis of air quality across the city, providing valuable insights for public health initiatives and environmental monitoring.
