Inhaling Soot In Port Harcourt by nnemak(m): 11:31am On Nov 30, 2016
For weeks now sleeping and waking up in Port Harcourt has not been funny….
I had to tell our domestic staff to mob the floor twice daily when I first noticed the feet of my kids where turning black weeks ago, on the few occasions they run around the house ( tiled floor) without their slippers!
also, I noticed that barely a few weeks into moving to Port Harcourt the curtains were so darken and dirty! I asked that it should be washed and quickly noticed that in less than a week it was BLACK again!!!!!!
I started to ask friends and neighbors if they also noticed same…….
That’s when I discovered that from Old Town, Elelewon, Woji , Trans Amadi to Borokiri people have noticed same.
Everyone coming up with different hypothesis for this: From slaughter(local Abattoir) to Factory’s around causing this soot that seem to creep in at night!
The health implication of taking in this SOOT day-in day-out cannot be overstressed. Just this morning I asked every member of my family to wipe their nostril only for each white-wipe to turn black where it had contact with the nostril!
ARE YOU IN PORT HARCOURT?
• Please does this occur in your environment?
• What do you think can pollute a whole city like this?
• What can we do about this?
