by | 21-08-2011 17:03


The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is not abundantly used in the agriculture sector in the rural areas. Mainly because of the basence of modern commercial farming, Ethiopia is not for the time being faced with chemical hazardous related environment challenges.

Lack of sufficient system and regulation for the management fo hazardous wastes, chemicals and radioactive substances would be discussed under the topic 'pollution control', where the government is trying to address this problem in its first draft legislation.

In addition, lack of environmental awareness concerning the linkage between environment and development in general, weak participation of the people and community based organizations in environmental management activities are some of the environmental challenges Ethiopia is facing now-a-days.

Pollution is not a major environmental problem in Ethiopia. In the earlier discussion on the Main Environmental Problems, feference has been made to pollution as a growing urban environmental challenge in Ethiopia.
