  • Sulphur oxides (SOx)
  • Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Reviewer comments

There is a regulation draft from 2008 that is instruct how to measure pollutants. However, there is no actual information if it was implemented. Therefore, according to this draft, there is no measurement of pollutants in Kenya. http://www.nema.go.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=141&Itemid=493
