An alarming situation has developed at a large waste dump in Accra, Ghana, where the air is thick with an acrid haze. Excavators are currently working through heaps of burning refuse, producing thin plumes of black smoke that emanate from the burning of plastic and rubber materials.
This smoke is intermingled with the unpleasant smell of stagnant lagoon water, further compounding concerns about the environmental impact and health risks associated with the site.
