Toxic waste and garbage dumping (3)
-----------------------------------

Toxic waste and garbage dumping is a serious problem in many African 
countries. Information came up that following the breakdown of gov-
ernment in Somalia nuclear and other dangerous have been dumped on 
land and the sea. The same happened in other African countries. Un-
fortunately in many African countries governments do not enforce gar-
bage disposal regulation (where they exist!). Untreated material from 
hospitals, dangerous chemicals, poisonous metals, infected foodstuff 
and other things may be dumped in city neighbourhoods.

I would be interested if anyone of you knows about a network, e-
conference group or similar where information on is this subject is 
exchanged.

Thank you for any help.
