SAMPSON ITODE
A resident in Rivers State, Diepriye Joe, is disturbed by the persistent impure carbon particles fouling the air in the state. This is particularly because she feared that the polluted air could infect her with lung infection.
Joe, who resides in Buguma town in the Asari-Toru Local Government Area of the state, lamented that soot had worsened an already bad ecological situation in the area,
She said, “The soot is enormous here. We have been managing water pollution for a long time in this area. We no longer drink well water because of the petrol-like substance in it and now the air too is polluted. Where are we going to live with our children? I don’t know which part of the state that is safe now.
