PENGASSAN task FG on Rivers soot

Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, has pleaded with the Federal and Rivers State Governments to urgently put in place measures to end the illegal refineries and other air pollution causing soot in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The body which came out with this over the weekend, said  the soot, in the form of thick black smoke covering the entire Port Harcourt City, could be the root cause of some of the respiratory problems being experienced by inhabitants of the city, saying that the health implications of the endemic black soot in Port Harcourt could be worse than Ebola if the long term effect is evaluated.

It will be recalled that the soot situation in Port Harcourt has lasted for over two years now without it abating.
