Mass concentration, optical depth and carbon composition of particulate matter in the major southern West African cities of Cotonou (Benin) and Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire)
Air quality degradation is a major issue in the large conurbations on the shore of the Gulf of Guinea. We present for the first time PM<sub>2.5</sub> time series collected in Cotonou, Benin, and Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, from February 2015 to March 2017. Measurements were performe...
