Chemicals and Waste Industry

The UN’s Global Chemicals Outlook II notes that chemicals production and consumption in Africa is growing "at a threatening rate to health and environment". The growth is within an environment characterized by a "lack of capacity for the sound management of chemicals” thus a continued exposure to public and risk to human health and the environment. To this end, our chemical team has been actively engaged in research to establish risks of exposure to hazardous chemicals such as lead, and mercury to Human health and Environment.
