The RETA 6422 - Air Quality Interventions: Improving Air Quality Monitoring Systems in Asian Cities contributes to improving the availability and reliability of air quality data in Asian cities. It aims to assist policymakers in (a) effective policy and investment decision-making, (b) policy and project impacts monitoring, and (c) communicating to the public on the status of air pollution.

The intended outcome of this project is improved information, data sharing and technical guidance on air quality monitoring systems and interventions needed for developing Asian cities and for ADB operations, resulting from improved understanding of the current status, quality and best practices in air quality monitoring.
