A database released by the World Health Organisation, WHO, indicates that Onitsha in Anambra state, Eastern Nigeria, is the most polluted city in the world.
According to the report published by the World Economic Forum, WEF, “Of the 3,000 cities in the WHO’s air quality database, the most polluted at the time of measurement was Onitsha, a fast-growing city in Nigeria, which recorded roughly 30 times more than the WHO’s recommended levels of PM10 particles.

“Onitsha is number one because ‘it produced pollution levels of nearly 600 micrograms per cubic metre of PM10s – around 30 times the WHO recommended level of 20 micrograms per cubic metre.’

See why i don't agree that Onitsha could be the most polluted city even in Nigeria: 1. Onitsha is not more of an industrial city than cities such as Portharcourt, Kano & Lagos & even nearby Nnewi & Aba. 2. Gas flaring & oil spillage are d world's greatest causes of environmental degradation according to EW & Onitsha doesn't have these. 3. When, it comes to cultural sources, it is very common to see people defaecating at d edge of d road & inside/around under-construction buildings in Abuja where I live & work but such a thing is seriously frowned at in Onitsha. Well, am not from Anambra (though i am familiar w d state) nor am i questioning WHO stats, but we should not be taking all stats line, hook & mumuly like ordinary fish.
