SACAQM featured by CGTN TV channel

SACAQM was recently featured on CGTN TV, highlighting how South Africa is turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to fight air pollution.

The program showcased SACAQM’s innovative approach of deploying low-cost sensors and AI-driven analytics to provide real-time monitoring of pollutants such as PM₂.₅ across Gauteng Province. Researchers emphasized that this system not only fills the gaps left by limited traditional monitoring stations but also empowers communities with accessible air quality data.

By combining AI forecasting models with community-based networks of sensors, SACAQM is contributing to one of today’s most urgent health challenges — reducing the risks of air pollution exposure.

The feature also underlined SACAQM’s collaborations with local municipalities, universities, and international partners to ensure the system supports policy impact, public awareness, and better health outcomes for South African residents.
