WHO Ranks Onitsha As World's Most Polluted City by Walelavender(m): 7:25am On Jun 02, 2016
Four of the worst cities in the world for air pollution are in Nigeria, according to a data released by World Health Organization (WHO).

Onitsha, in Anambra- a city few outside Nigeria will have heard of- has the undignified honour of being labeled the world's most polluted city for air quality, when measuring small particulate matter concentration (PM10). Onitsha recorded 30 times more than the WHO's recommended levels of PM10

The other three cities named and shamed in WHO report for high PM10 levels are the transport hub of Kaduna in the north, which came 5th followed by the cities Aba in 6th place and Umuahia, in 16th position which are both trade centres in Southern Nigeria.
