The story about Kenyans selling PCB oil is truly sad. I cannot imagine the damage that is doing to children and families in that country.
It reminds me of the Vice News story about the illegal oil refineries which are present in the Niger River delta and the environmental and humanitarian destruction they are causing.
Additionally when authorities find illegally refined oil they simply dump it on site, contaminating the villages and markets where it is stored.
- pasbesoin 9y agoI used to know a fellow who spent some years working for "the oil industry" in the far east. That would be a couple of decades ago. He really enjoyed the street food. But, as he told me, you had to be careful. How did a vendor have fresh fare without power nor evident means of fresh supply and cooling? Well, per him, some vendors kept supplies submerged in formaldehyde. I've never looked up independent confirmation of this, and I haven't been there and so had to worry about it. But he was, in my experience, a straight shooter and not one inclined towards tall tales.
