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.

Know Thyself, NOT in Greece First.
Know Thyself, NOT in Greece First. Baka Omubo 96 Views • 4 years ago

#know, #greekmythology, #plato , #socrates, #philosophy
When you ask many people, who taught know thyself first, you will get thousands and thousands of answers pointing to European Greek Philosophers. Then they point to the temple of Delphi where they say it is etched on stone! In all Honest Who coined the phrase know thyself?
Does it Matter? What do you benefit from it?
Africans were already civilised to the highest point hundreds of millions of years before European ancestors crawled on the earth. Would such an advanced society fail to think Philosophically? Black people were the only literate and civilised people in antiquity. If you do not point such timelines to the Greeks and others, they will steal everything! "Know thyself" is an ancient African precept, from the Temple of Luxor actually Wazoti. It was appropriated by a number of pre-Socratic Greek writers, whose thinking was heavily influenced by Egyptian civilisation; and afterwards, most famously, adopted by Plato, in several of his Socratic dialogues. Over two thousand years this African precept was borrowed without acknowledgment is now said to be of Greek origins. Find the benefits of knowing thyself and Re-claim YOUR Heritage from cultural thieves, then use it to Actualize yourself and
Transcend yourself so as to UNLEASH Your Potential in Creativity and Full Living.
Here is How…. skeleton with scythe, the inscription "gnothi seauton"— know thyself—is in Greek.
Roman, circa 1st century.
Mena: this is a black Roman skeleton
Interestingly, the skeleton reclines very much like a Roman dinner guest
