#DYK that satellite data + #AI can uncover hidden pollution hotspots in African cities? At @DeepIndaba #DLI2025 poster session in Kigali 🇷🇼, our team showcased how we’re using AI to transform #airquality management: 🔹 Estimating & validating #AirPollution by combining satellite data with on-ground monitors. 🔹 Detecting stationary pollution sources like factories using machine learning & satellite imagery. 🔹 Turning complex datasets into actionable insights that policymakers and communities can use to build cleaner, healthier cities. We’re excited to share, learn, and collaborate with Africa’s #AI community, driving innovations that improve #AirQuality in African Cities @pro_napro
