4.11 Trade and Commerce
B. Environmental Issues
Environmental issues stemming from trading activities may encompass the impacts on the environment from trade in
the specific product (such as poor health conditions from the "Mama Ntilie" or pesticide poisoning from trading
unlicensed or unlabelled pesticides), impacts from activities at the trading centres themselves or even impacts of
by-products, such as packaging. Some of the activities which occur in order to facilitate trading also present
environmental impacts and are analyzed in the other economic services sections on construction and transport, etc.
