Every year, about 17000 people die from exposure to air pollution in Ghana. According to the 2016 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, air pollution is one of the highest and fastest rising causes of ill health in the country, implicated in increasing asthma, respiratory conditions, and cardiovascular diseases, among others. The danger is evident.

Air pollution in Ghana is driven by rapid urbanisation and population growth in cities such as Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi. Specifically, vehicular emissions, biomass burning, electronic waste, and construction are major contributors.

The video shows the drone footage filmed over the city of Accra and the settlement of Old Fadama.
