Environmental Problems and the Urban Household in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) -Ghana
This report details a study of household environmental problems in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), Ghana, focusing on the intersection of poverty, urban growth, and public health. Based on a survey of 1,000 households and physical testing of water and air, the study examines deficiencies in water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, pest control, food safety, and indoor air quality. It finds that poor households bear a disproportionate burden of environmental risks, which are strongly associated with childhood diarrhoea and respiratory infections.
