How serious is water pollution from chemicals in Kenya and what can be done about it?

Research profile seminar

During the last couple of years, serious water pollution in Kenya has made the news headlines. The Athi-river running through Nairobi was branded the River of death and also severe pollution of the Kenyan side of Lake Victoria has been documented. In this seminar, three Kenyan researchers will present recent research on chemical pollution in Kenyan water bodies and discuss governance challenges.
