Abstract
The air quality over Moundou-Chad was examined using satellite dataset. Fifteen
years aerosol optical depth (AOD) was obtained from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro
Radiometer (MISR). The AOD dataset is statisticaly stable for further prediction. The highest
AOD mean was observed in 2008. The standard deviation, average deviation and coefficient of
variation all agrees that the AOD dataset is reliable. It is shown that the aerosol loading over
Moundou is high and the size of the aerosol is very tiny to deposit in the human lungs.
