| Popis: | International audience; The population explosion coupled with the socio-political crisis accentuates the difficulties of the district authorities in Abidjan to set up infrastructure and efficient services for the management of domestic, hospital and industrial waste. The majority of this waste is directly found on sidewalks district or the Akouédo landfill which remains the unique legal tank. As a result, our study intends to analyze and assess the effectiveness and impact of the Akouedo landfill on the riparian population. To this end, we conducted an hybrid investigation with direct observation of the study area followed of a field survey with a population of 876 people living in the village of Akouedo. This work showed from the Akouédo landfill is saturated with the presence of heavy metals. On the other hand, it has environmental and health impacts on local communities and the nearby Ébrié lagoon. |
