    Abstract West Africa’s proximity to the Sahara Desert can cause photovoltaic (PV) systems to experience significant power generation reductions when particulates settle onto solar panel surfaces in a phenomenon known as soiling. Previous studies have created models to estimate PV soiling globally, but these models have several limitations in the region due to the accuracy of the input particular matter (PM) concentration values, the accuracy of methods for computing power loss, and the regional use of decentralized solar systems. Here we develop and apply a methodology for the development of a soiling estimation model based on the Coello framework, and evaluate it when using input PM concentration values from both a reanalysis dataset (MERRA-2) and a dataset derived from satellite-observations (WUSTL). This model reduces error in soiling-related power loss estimates by approximately 50% when compared to the unadjusted Coello approach. Using this model, we find soiling losses can exceed 50% in the most greatly affected locations during the Harmattan season and these power losses can vary considerably each year (between 26 and 53% in Niamey, Niger). To support PV system design, we develop a function that relates maximum soiling losses to annual cleaning frequencies in major cities. Finally, we find if decentralized solar is used to meet electricity access goals as projected, PV cleaning costs could sum up to $1Bn (USD) annually in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030.

    Abstract Emission regulations of the power and industry sectors have been identified as the major driver of PM₂.₅ mitigation over China during 2013-2017. In this study, we use ground-based observations of four air pollutants (CO, NO₂, SO₂, and PM₂.₅) to show that additional stringent emission policies on the industrial, transportation, and residential sectors during the new 3-year protection plan (2018-2020) have accelerated the improvement of China's air quality.Based on regional (North and South China) trends of annual mean measurements, significant reductions are observed for all four pollutants during 2017-2020. These decreasing trends are found to be >30% stronger than 2015-2017 for NO₂, CO, and PM₂.₅. For CO and PM₂.₅, the acceleration is the strongest in winter and North China, when and where the residential clean-heating actions were implemented. While for NO₂, the accelerations are pronounced regardless of region or season, reflecting nationwide measures to reduce NOₓ emissions from industrial and transportation activities. SO₂ concentration reductions that were already substantial before 2017 are maintained but not accelerated, consistent with the dominance of end-of-pipe measures rather than a structural change of energy fuels. Our investigation highlights the value of multi-pollutant analysis to relate emission policies with air quality changes.

    Abstract Background: With much of the world's population residing in urban areas, an understanding of air pollution exposures at the city level can inform mitigation approaches. Previous studies of global urban air pollution have not considered trends in air pollutant concentrations nor corresponding attributable mortality burdens. We aimed to estimate trends in fine particulate matter (PM
    Methods: We use high-resolution annual average PM
    Findings: Although regional averages of urban PM
    Interpretation: Our study showed that, between the years 2000 and 2019, most of the world's urban population lived in areas with unhealthy levels of PM

    Abstract Background: Undernutrition is a global public health crisis, causing nearly half of deaths for children under age 5 years. Little is known regarding the impact of air pollution in-utero and early childhood on health outcomes related to undernutrition. The aim of our study is to evaluate the association of prenatal and early-life exposure to PM
    Methods: We linked nationally representative anthropometric data from 58 Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) (n = 264,207 children < 5 years of age) with the average in-utero PM
    Results: We observed lower HAZ and increased stunting with higher in-utero PM
    Conclusions: This is one of the first studies for the African continent to investigate in-utero and early-life exposure to PM

    Abstract Low haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and anaemia in children have adverse effects on development and functioning, some of which may have consequences in later life. Exposure to ambient air pollution is reported to be associated with anaemia, but there is little evidence specific to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where childhood anaemia prevalence is greatest. We aimed to determine if long-term ambient fine particulate matter (≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter [PM
