In the book “Around the World in 80 days”, the protagonist Phileas Fogg of London UK and his French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager (roughly £2 million today). Inspired by Phileas and Passepartout’s global travels, join us as we take a world tour through the lens of air quality monitoring.

Guided by the [Local Haze](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/local-haze/id1278998405) air quality monitoring app, we are taking a worldwide tour highlighting 80 AQI sensors around the globe, and learning how citizen scientists and air quality enthusiasts are monitoring their local air quality.

For stop #3 on our world tour, we travel to the city of Dakar, Senegal and check out the PurpleAir sensor located at the edge of the ocean #ATW80AQ
