#numerique #pollution #dechets #hardware
Ils brûlent les #câbles et les #déchets pour en récupérer du cuivre et d’autres métaux. Une combustion qui pollue les sols. Selon un rapport publié en 2013 par l’ONG américaine Blacksmith Institute, Agbogbloshie est désormais le lieu le plus pollué au monde… devant Tchernobyl. #Cadmium, #plomb, #mercure et #arsenic sont durablement présents dans les sols d’#Agbogbloshie, parfois à des niveaux 100 fois supérieurs aux seuils autorisés.
Bœufs et moutons faméliques
A proximité des lieux de combustion, la chaleur est insoutenable. La fumée âcre charrie des émanations toxiques. Les travailleurs tentent de s’en prémunir en mettant un linge devant leur nez. Mince rempart. « Je sens la fumée entrer dans mes poumons et j’ai régulièrement mal à la gorge », souffle Thomas, 18 ans, qui travaille dans la décharge depuis plus de cinq ans. Faute de protection, la plupart des « #salvagers » souffrent de brûlures, lésions oculaires, problèmes respiratoires chroniques. Certains développent également rapidement des cancers. « Je souffre de chaleur la nuit, j’ai du mal à respirer et je tousse souvent », dit Devit de sa voix rauque. A 36 ans, il fait figure de doyen à Agbogbloshie, après y avoir passé plus d’une dizaine d’années. Les visages, les mains, les vêtements des forçats sont couverts d’une épaisse poussière. Les traits sont tirés. La plupart des « salvagers » ont commencé à travailler dans le camp à l’âge de 10 ans. Ils errent dans le camp avec une ficelle au bout de laquelle pend un aimant pour récupérer quelques grammes de métal pour un gain de quelques centimes. « C’est vraiment l’enfer, résume Ibrahim, 26 ans. Mais il est difficile de trouver du travail à #Accra. Même si cela est mauvais pour la santé, je n’ai pas le choix. » Alors il continue de tenter de survivre dans un environnement hypertoxique.
