Efforts to monitor air quality in Nakuru have received a major boost through a project initiated by scholars from Egerton University that is installing air quality monitors in frequently visited places that are prone to pollution.

The monitors powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) will provide real-time data on the quality of air that people breathe before experts can analyze it and give advice accordingly.

Installation of the machines through the initiative dubbed "Quality of Air Research in Nakuru Project," spearheaded by Environmental Health Prof.

Wilkister Moturi is being supported by the Flanders Government in Belgium under the Spira air quality management initiative.
