Air pollution is as old as human existence. At the moment, the measure of climate change may be proportional to the volume of aerosols loading in the atmosphere. Only few countries are adopting the preventive measures to mitigate pollution. In this paper, the main objective is to know the pollution state of Malabo-Equitorial Guinea. A fifteen years dataset was obtained from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR). Computational and statistical analysis was adopted. The percentage of increase of aerosols loading is currently high considering the atmospheric constants gotten from the analytical method. This results shows that Malabo is currently having excess deposition of air pollution into the atmosphere.
