The Impact of Air Pollution on Cardiovascular Health Outcomes in African Populations
This review highlights a critical need for standardized research on air pollution and cardiovascular health in Africa. The extremely limited numbers of studies make it difficult to ascertain the true impact of air pollution across the African continent. Future research should include longitudinal studies in different African populations with standardized methods. There is an urgent need to improve pollution monitoring networks, ascertain key sources of exposure, and implement air quality standards.
