What is it about?
Through a systematic investigation, it was affirmed that the main source of pollution over Dapaong is bush and domestic fuel burning (June to December) and Sahara dust (January to May). It was observed that the sources of pollution have been very consistent over two decades

Why is it important?
The largest aerosol radius was found when the aerosol loading is presumably low. Hence, at high aerosol loading, the aerosol radius is very small to penetrate the nostrils into the lungs.
Perspectives
If an assumption is made that the deposition efficiency over Dapaong between 2002–2018 is true, then the report given by Borgen project (that 20% of deaths in Togo is caused by respiratory diseases) may be adjudged as very true.
