Multiple health effects on on humans because of pollution
Agbogbloshie, a neighborhood of Accra, Ghana, was affected by rising flood of e-waste. Agbogbloshie was completely covered in toxic pollution.This toxic pollution threatens the health of more than 200 million people and wildlife and threatens the entire ecosystem balance.
