Distance-decay Relationships of Air Pollutant Concentrations Near Open Waste Burning Sites in Nairobi, Kenya: Evidence from Kibera

Open waste burning in informal settlements contributes to localized air pollution, posing significant health risks. This study investigated the distance-decay relationship of air pollutant concentrations near open waste burning sites in Kibera, Nairobi City County, Kenya. Air samples were collected at 21 sampling points across three distance ranges
