Air & Climate
Qualit’air
Since 2002, the Qualit'air Program has focused on improving air quality in Morocco and limiting its impact on health.
For cleaner air and a protected planet
Qualit’air has focused on air pollution in large cities since 2002. Its action aims to improve fuel quality to reduce fuel pollution by reducing Sulphur levels and to introduce vehicle controls to reduce exhaust emissions.
A national network of 31 air quality monitoring stations was developed and transferred to the National Meteorology Department.
Lastly, a large-scale eco-epidemiological study for Greater Casablanca was launched in 2009 and completed in 2015. The modelling of pollution health risks, based on data from the air quality monitoring network as well as on collected health data, is a precursor for a health monitoring system for Moroccan cities. It is set to trigger pollution alerts when required.
