Blinded by the smoke: The price Ghana’s fish smokers are paying

“Somebody who is a fish smoker is exposed to basically three things,” he explains. “One, the person is exposed to air pollutants, the smoke. Two, the person is exposed to heat. And three, the person is exposed to some sort of chemicals used in treating the fish. All these three things, when exposed to over a period of time, have tendencies in causing irreparable damage to one’s vision.”
