La pollution atmosphérique est à l'origine de nombreux décès en Afrique .Toutefois, la situation peut changer si les gens apprennent à se protéger et à demander des comptes à leurs dirigeants.
Air pollution accounts for many deaths in Africa yearly. However, this may change if people learn to protect themselves and hold their leaders accountable.
