{UAH} Tests reveal that yams grown in Kampala’s wetlands are contaminated with deadly chemicals from industries

Yams growing next to a large sewage channel. Farmers say they tend to grow in wetland areas like this. What they do not know is that they are absorbent food crops

Tests reveal that yams grown in Kampala's wetlands are contaminated with deadly chemicals from industries, notably lead, copper, ammonium and orthophosphate. But Ugandans are eating away, yet all the consequences boil down to death

The effluent in the sewage channel ends up in Lake Victoria eventually. Kampala gets its water from this lake from Gaba Water Treatment plant.
