World Health Organisation Describes Onitsha As The Most Polluted City In The Wor by olatade(m): 9:50am On May 15, 2016
ONITSHA in Anambra State has been described as the most polluted city in the world according to a recent World Economic Forum (WEF) report published by the World Health Organisation (WHO). According to the report, of the 3,000 cities in the WHO’s air quality database, the most polluted at the time of measurement was Onitsha. A commercial hub, Onitsha is a fast-growing city in Nigeria, which recorded roughly 30 times more than the WHO’s recommended levels of PM10 particles. A WEF spokesman said: “Onitsha is number one because it produced pollution levels of nearly 600 micrograms per cubic metre of PM10s. This is around 30 times the WHO recommended level of 20 micrograms per cubic metre." Three other Nigerian cities, Aba, Kaduna and Umuahia, were featured in the top 20. Onitsha has the largest market in sub-Saharan Africa and is a nerve centre where people come from all over Nigeria to buy goods.
