The display that started last week has triggered health anxiety among residents.
The fear about the hazy skylines was worsened by the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) announcement last Monday that they detected pollution several times higher than the World Health Organisation (WHO) normal range of 25 microgram per cubic meters.
“Results from our 23 air quality monitors across the city in the last 28 days indicate that average particulate matter (PM 2.5) is at 75 micrograms per cubic meter, [which] is 3 times higher than the World Health Organisation (WHO) cut off,” the KCCA said in a tweet on February 7.
