Some residents in parts of Ashaiman have expressed deep concern over what they describe as chlorine exposure emanating from the Central Ghana Water Company warehouse in the area.
According to residents in communities such as Bethlehem and Golf City, the situation was particularly severe between 7:00 p.m. and midnight on Friday, April 11, 2025.
They reported experiencing breathing difficulties, with some individuals suffering asthma attacks due to the strong chemical presence in the air.
In an interview with Citi FM, an eyewitness, Eric Sonny, indicated that the situation had normalized by Saturday morning, with improved air quality compared to the previous night.
“An office of the Ghana Water Limited at Ashaiman, Bethelem, has had its chlorine spillage, which has polluted the environment. This has made breathing very difficult. People with asthma are having attacks, and you can’t stay in your room.
“Please, we are struggling to breathe because of the burning sensation, they should come and attend to it,” he stated.
