Air pollution has been a major challenge worldwide particularly in the developing world.
It has dire implications for human health.
Understanding the knowledge and behaviour of the populace is key to the development and implementation of necessary intervention programmes.
The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of air pollution in the Accra, Ghana.
The study employed a cross-sectional design to obtain quantitative data form 1404 respondents, and the results were analysed with SPSS version 23.
There were more (54.1%) female respondents than males (45.9%) in the study.
The majority (70.5%) of the respondents were aware of the haze (air pollution) and its adverse effects on health.
There was however a significant relationship between the sociodemographics and air pollution awareness (P=0.01).
There was also a correlation between residents’ age, educational level, length of stay, marital status, and knowledge/awareness rate of air pollution (P<0.05).
Although the majority of the respondents are aware of air pollution and its relationship to their health, rates of awareness were low in some demographic groups like the elderly and the less educated.
Therefore, nondiscriminatory policies should be formed toward the education and guidance of people to become knowledgeable about air pollution and related health challenges.
Most of the residents admitted improving air quality is the responsibility of every citizen.
The government should utilize this to form collaborative measure with the citizens for a more effective control of air pollution.
