Abstract
Recent UN report shows that over 6.76 billion people are living with excessive air pollution. The West Africa countries are under constant influence of anthropogenic pollution from Sahara Desert, fossil-fuel engines and bush-burning. A fifteen years' dataset was obtained from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR). Computational and statistical analysis was adopted. The percentage of increase of aerosols loading was high in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2012 which was 12.3%, 10.5%, 8% and 12.2%. Cumulatively increase of aerosol loading within 15 years was 22.9%. This results shows that Bondokou is currently having excess deposition of air pollution into the atmosphere. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
