Ghana's Environmental Protection Authority EPA is watching factories more closely. They are using a new way to see how much pollution factories release as it happens.

This new system helps the EPA cut down on dirty air coming from industries across the country. It also makes sure factories follow the rules to protect the environment.

Air pollution is a big problem for people's health in Ghana. In 2019, the air had much more harmful tiny particles than health experts say is safe.

The EPA's action is a step to make the air cleaner for everyone.

More information about specific factories being monitored or any penalties will be released by the EPA as investigations continue.
