A Report Puts Onitsha as the World’s Most Polluted City

Onitsha, a fast growing city in Anambra, a South-East state in Nigeria, has been tagged the world’s most polluted city according to a report published by the World Economic Forum.

The list was gotten from the World Health Organisation’s Urban Ambient Air Pollution Database (2016 Update) which contains urban air quality data of 3,ooo cities, collected between 2011 and 2015.

According to the report, “Of the 3,000 cities in the WHO’s air quality database, the most polluted at the time of measurement was Onitsha, a fast-growing city in Nigeria, which recorded roughly 30 times more than the WHO’s recommended levels of PM10 particles. Peshawar in Pakistan was in second place, followed by Zabol in Iran.”
