The
present study deals with the analysis of the level of pollution found in the
area where the Chemical Industries of Senegal (ICS) is located. The results of
various field surveys and physicochemical analyses show a high exposure of
sulphur and phosphate. This study aims to define abatement strategies to reduce
the effects of pollution in the area where ICS is located and mitigate the
harmful impacts to the health of the population by creating a system to inform
the population of the level of concentration of pollutants in the environment.
This will allow the different targets to understand pollution, its
manifestations and its effects on health and the environment, prevention,
participation in the limitation of pollutant emissions and the formation of
eco-citizens sensitive to the issue of environmental pollution of ICS.
