IQAir's AirVisual, an ongoing air quality information platform, has sounded the caution that Ghana's air quality is 49.6 times higher than the WHO yearly air quality guideline value.
IQAir's AirVisual credits this to the high concentration of PM2.5 in Accra's atmosphere.
It says the current PM2.5 concentration in Greater Accra is multiple times over as far as recommended given by the WHO 24-hour air quality guideline value.
It is believed the high concentration of PM2.5 in the air has been compounded by the resurgence of the Harmattan because of regional dust storms pushing into Southern Ghana.
"Because of the highly damaging effects of pollution exposure on weak citizenry, for example small kids and the older, pregnant women, those with heightened sensitivity towards pollution , as well as those with prior sicknesses or compromised immune system, the populace is encouraged to wear a cover outside, run an air purifier, close windows to keep away from filthy open air and stay away from outside work out."
PM2.5 refers to particles found in the air, including dust, sediment, soot, smoke, and fluid drops with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less.
These particles are so little they can get profound into the lungs and into the circulation system and cause devastation to one's organs.
In the mean time, the Ghana Meteorological Organization has anticipated an escalation of dry and dusty weather patterns during the week.
It ascribed the peculiarity to tidy lifted around Chad, Sudan, and Niger. This residue was moved into the country by solid breezes at lower levels of the air.
"These circumstances are supposed to continue at different forces throughout the following couple of days. Nonetheless, it is normal that there will be an unwinding in the force during the week and thus."
