Kenya: The air in Nairobi is polluted. Not as bad in some China cities, says the World Health Organisation, but all indications are that it could get worse as more people move to the city and more industries are set up and the middle class buys more cars.
Most of the pollution is from vehicular exhaust fumes and industrial production. It is uncommon for one to smell foul air in some parts of the city especially around Industrial Area, Lang’ata, South B, Mombasa Road and parts of Embakasi.
