One of the key requirements for the development of a regional policy is the provision of robust scientific information upon which debates can be initiated. APINA (Air Pollution Information Network – Africa) is a network of scientists, researchers and policy-makers who are supportive of a regional approach to addressing the issues of transboundary air pollution, based on robust scientific information. Evidence is emerging of impacts at various scales, from indoor air pollution to regional effects.
