Accra has been named the 7th most polluted city in the World. Data from the World of Statistics has mentioned Accra, Ghana’s capital, as the seventh most polluted city in the world.
Napal’s Kathmandu came first in the ranking, with Helsinki in Finland coming in as the least polluted city in the world.
It is however unclear what metrics were used by the World of Statistics in arriving at these rankings.
