Natural Gas Flaring
Health of the inhabitants of Nigeria is another subject when it comes to oil drilling. One of the major forces in damaging the health of the Niger Delta population is natural gas flaring. Natural gas flaring is when natural gas from drilling is collected in batches and then combusted. Flaring has been shown to produce massive ammounts of carbon dioxide that when inhaled with other chemicals and gases can produce low air quality linking to cancer, asthma, and other lung diseases.
