Nigerian Medical Association, NMA in Rivers state
on Thursday said that the black soot in Port
Harcourt and its environs is exposure to lead, a
chemical element which if inhaled could lead to
heavy metal poisoning.
The Association made this known at a media
briefing held at its secretariat in Port Harcourt.
State chairman of the NMA, Datonye Alasia told
newsmen that it could also lead to other chronic
respiratory tract diseases.
Children are more at risk to developing respiratory
disease as they come directly in contact with
these black soot particles, Dr. Alasia said.
While urging the government to meet up with
standard environmental targets, the NMA
chairman however called for proper sensitization
of the general public.
