Toxic waste 'major global threat'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/scie....nce-environment-2499
More than 200 million people around the world are at risk of exposure to toxic waste, a report has concluded.
The authors say the large number of people at risk places toxic waste in a similar league to public health threats such as malaria and tuberculosis.
The study from the Blacksmith Institute and Green Cross calls for greater efforts to be made to control the problem.
The study carried out in more than 3,000 sites in over 49 countries.
"It's a serious public health issue that hasn't really been quantified," Dr Jack Caravanos, director of research at the Blacksmith Institute and professor of public health at the City University of New York told the BBC's Tamil Service.
The study identified the Agbobloshie dumping yard in Ghana's capital Accra as the place which poses the highest toxic threat to human life.
The researchers say that the report has not been hidden from governments, and they are all aware of the issue.
Agbobloshie has become a global e-waste dumping yard, causing serious environmental and health issues Dr Caravanos explained.
The study says that "a range of recovery activities takes place in Agbobloshie, each presenting unique occupational and ecological risks".
As the second largest e-waste processing area in West Africa, Ghana annually imports around 215,000 tonnes of second hand consumer electronics from abroad, particularly from Western Europe, and generates another 129,000 tons of e-waste every year.
The study warns that that Ghana's e-waste imports will double by 2020.
At the Agbobloshie site, the study found the presence of lead in soil at very high levels, posing serious potential health and environment hazards to more than 250,000 people in the vicinity.

Long before the likes of Thomas Sankara, Robert Mugabe and Nelson Mandela burst onto the international scene as the faces of anti-imperialism in Africa, one man stood head and shoulders above his peers as the leading political voice and the very embodiment of Africa’s struggle against colonialism.
Ghana’s first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, took the world by storm as he led his nation to become the first black African nation to gain independence from the European powers. But just as Nkrumah’s revolutionary leadership in Ghana, would trigger a wave of independence movements all across sub-saharan Africa, his gradual decline and sudden overthrow would also become a familiar story across virtually all of Africa’s newly independent states.
This is the story of how Dr Kwame Nkrumah went from being Ghana’s messiah and a faultless hero to a political pariah, whose ultimate demise would lead to wild celebrations in the streets by the very same people that had once loved and adored him.
