The World Health Organisation has revealed that 12 cities in Nigeria have the most polluted air.
The study tagged ambient outdoor air pollution database 2016 revealed the 12 prominent cities with heavily polluted air.

According to the recently released study by the WHO, air pollution consists of many pollutants, among other particulate matter.

These particles are able to penetrate deeply into the respiratory tract and therefore constitute a risk for health by increased mortality from respiratory infections and diseases, lung cancer, and selected cardiovascular diseases.

The level of pollution in the air, according to the study by WHO, is measured in microscopic particle of less than 2.5 microns ( PM2.5) and less than 10 microns of diameter (PM10) [ug/m3].

What is PM?
In a report by the World Bank, PM is described as a microscopic particle -2.5 microns in width and almost 30 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. When levels are high, PM particles form a haze in the sky, making their way into people’s respiratory tracts and reaching the lungs.

Often dubbed a silent killer, the PM's long-term impacts on lung and heart diseases is extremely regarded dangerous.

Exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution was estimated by WHO to cause about 7 million deaths globally, raising awareness of the scourge of pollution on a global scale.

The most polluted cities in Nigeria
According to the World Health Organisation, the cities that may have a high rate of people suffering from respiratory infections and diseases are:

BeijinDossier:
Now compare it to the Anambra state university teaching hospital, then you will understand why Imo state people are slaves that does not deserve good things.

Ofodirinwa:
Teaching hospital hahahahaaa

Ikenna0b:
Thank you. For some weird fucking reason it's always Anambra people that start this state comparison bullshit.

Ofodirinwa please just let it go. Allow them to do their chest beating. There's something mentally wrong with some Anambra people, I've come to realize that so leave them be. Just focus on the topic. Arguing with people like that is a waste of time.

BrownRoofRep:
Bro, let's turn this to another Anambra vs Imo nonsense. You guys should've let me handle that drunk.

No part of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu University is located in Imo State plus the fact that there should be more than 5 Universities in Anambra State.
That's by the way...

mightguy:
What kind of nonsense is this. Anambra this. Imo this. Mind una self nah

BeijinDossier:
Imo state is CURSED for real..lol

BeijinDossier:
Till date Okoroawusa could not give imo state people a sound infrastructure despite all debt hanging on the slave state..lol

Sprumbabafather:

Ofodirinwa:
Anambra State University is located on Imo State land LOL

BrownRoofRep:
The only mentally deranged individuals I see here is you and your friend, Ofodirinwa.
I've come to realize you are such a dumb fellow.

Now, point to this thread where Anambra people started anything. You are so stupid to recognize that Ofodirinwa, your friend started attacking Anambra people here for just no reason.

BeijinDossier:
Thunder fire you there. It is your father that's mentally stupid and mad. Who started the comparison that led to what the idiot said? Was there any provocation that could have led to that? Thunder fire you again there for accusing Anambra people wrongly. Ikengawo who's the same as ofodirinwa is known for always taking a jab on Anambra people. He did with his old account(IKENGAWO) years back and now he is back with his new account with the same character.

I am ready to destroy this thread if ever turns to Where you slaves come together to talk about your master(Anambra).

I am also ready to aim a direct shot on anyone's state who tries it until this thread is sunk and closed. Rubbish.

BeijinDossier:
Have you shown us your own collapsing flyover in Owerri that has remained un-used till now after 3yrs..lol


Anambra is carefully developing a worldclass international airport right now. As of now Imo state does not have an airport, what you have is just another motorpark.

See how airport should look like..lol

mightguy:
Guys y is it that our story building are always five storeys or less. Is there any law that made it that way. Y can't we build ten storeys or even eight storeys

Ofodirinwa:
I ASK FOR AN AIRPORT AND YOU PRESENTED PHOTOSHOP LOL

Ikenna0b:
Oh please shut the Bleep up. The only people here insulting everyone and yelling about who Igbos should forget as they are not igbo or who isn't igbo is Anambra people. Noone else did that worthless who is igbo or not. Ofodirinwa did was call you Anambra people out on it especially this seems have become a daily behavior of you people in every Igbo topic. There's not been one Igbo topic as of late where you lots, especially Chino, didn't start that rubbish. Any non-Anambra can clearly see wtf ofodirinwa was talking about. Noone needs to leave this topic to see it as it's clear as daylight.

Ofodirinwa:
from they way you're causing problems it's safe to assume you're from Anambra, which has 2 universities, none of them of any repute. Even the Ojukwu University is 80% in Imo. Asaba also has an airport which the whole of Anambra doesn't
