The Republic of South Africa, along with the Republic of Senegal is a leading example for Africa, for being the country with the most transparency on its Air Quality. The Air Quality monitoring network coverage is really good, and all the information is available publically and freely from the saaqis.org.za website.

Update June 4th 2015: The Air Quality data service from saaqis.org.za is temporarilly not available. We are now investigating, together with the South African Weather Service team responsible for SAAQIS, a solution for getting the data back online.

The GAIA air quality monitor uses laser particle sensors to measure PM2.5 and PM10 particle pollution in real-time.

Very easy to set up, it only requires a WIFI access point and a USB power supply. Once connected, air pollution levels are reported instantaneously and in real time on our maps.

It comes fully equipped with water-proof cables, mounting tools, power supply and an optional solar panel.
