Clarification of the effect of continued environmental contamination in Africa on humans and animals

How do you imagine Africa? Do you see it as an undeveloped continent, abundant with animals such as lions, elephants, giraffes and hippopotamus across the great Serengeti ?

True there are such places, but rapid development in Africa today has also led to serious problems due to environmental contamination. To what degree is such contamination occurring? We are currently examining how environmental contaminants are affecting African soil and fish, as well as African wildlife, such as hippopotamus, alligators, and birds, as well as domestic animals and humans. Through our research, we seek to predict contamination sources and establish contamination control guidelines.

We are currently involved in surveys and research projects in various African nations in cooperation with local researchers, research assistants, and the local community. Collaborative research projects are being carried out with affiliated institutions in over 10 nations, including Zambia, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa, Ghana, Ethiopia, Egypt, Nigeria, Cameroon, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Sudan.
