The Environmental Protection Authority EPA has increased its watch over factories across Ghana. This is to help cut down on pollution.
A new real-time monitoring system is now being used. This system will help the EPA see exactly how much pollution industries are releasing.
The goal is to make sure companies follow environmental laws better. This is important for public health.
Air pollution has been identified as a major threat in Ghana. In 2019, the amount of harmful particle matter in the air was very high.
The EPA's move is a step towards cleaner air. The new system allows for immediate checks on emissions.
This proactive approach aims to reduce the health risks associated with industrial pollution.
The EPA's intensified surveillance is a direct response to the ongoing challenge of air quality.
Compliance with emissions standards is now a key focus for the authority.
