What data is expected?
Aggregate data about the emission of air pollutants especially those potentially harmful to human health (although it is not a requirement to include information on green house gas emissions). Aggregate means national-level or more detailed and on an annual basis or better. Standard examples of relevant pollutants would be: carbon monoxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter etc.

Details
According to the Department of Environment in the government of Lesotho, there is a data clearing house which monitor air pollutions. However, it is not accessible online, and there is no information about how one can access the data. I tried to phone the department, but no one was able to help me.
