Study of the Evolution of Air Pollution in the City of Bamako

Air pollution depends on dispersion factors and sources of pollution. It can also vary over time. To diagnose this phenomenon, an inventory of air pollution with measurements of ambient air quality at a certain number of points, as well as traffic counts was made. The purpose of this study is to analyze the evolution of pollution, of the different sources of emissions, the modeling of the health impact of the quality of the ambient air for the different scenarios, the proposal of a actions to limit emissions, and the simulation of emissions and ambient air quality by 2015 and 2020 with and without an action plan. The results of the two air quality measurement campaigns show lower or substantially equal concentration levels between those of July 2019 and those of the 2009 data. concentration guidelines set by the WHO. The assessment of emissions and their health impact for 2015 and 2020 shows that pollution by volatile organic compounds and dust will become unacceptable if nothing is done. The number of benzenerelated cancers will increase to 686 cases and the increase in dustrelated mortality to an average figure of 38.7%. Proposals have been made on improving the living environment, the quality of fuel and the vehicle fleet
