Severe toxic smoke and health risks at Gioto solid waste dumpsite in Nakuru
NAKURU, KENYA - OCTOBER 30: A general view of the thick plumes of toxic smoke rising from burning garbage at the Gioto solid waste dumpsite as people search for items that are still in usable condition, as well as recyclable products in Nakuru, Kenya, on Friday, October 30, 2026. Despite severe health hazards caused by unchecked dumping, methane gas leaks, and chemical combustion that release dangerous fumes into surrounding residential neighborhoods, the landfill continues to serve as an essential daily source of income for thousands of informal waste pickers searching for reusable and recyclable items.
