Too dirty fuel, bad for Europe but, sold in Africa.

A day ago it was all over the national media in Nigeria how Swiss companies;Vitol, Trasfigura, Addax, Oryx and lynx energy have been importing and selling dirty fuel to Africa by a campaign group Public Eye. Although, some of the company have defended their businesses, that they are within legal limit in these African countries.
What is the effect of this continuous production and distribution of these dirty fuel on our dear ecosystems and humanity? Too dirty fuel contain sulphur as high as 1000-5000ppm. Sulphur is a major air pollutant and have results to death, cancer, respiratory problems, heart diseases.
If some of these companies insisted they meet regulatory limit of these countries, then it calls for serious global concerns, UNEP and other environmental agencies must step up their campaign not only in these African countries with weak regulations but, also in those European countries and others where dirty fuel are refined.
Injury to one is injury to all, this planet is ours, we must own it and protect it, we must educate and help ourselves to make it safe for ourselves and the generation unborn. We must regulate to stop environmental pollution by encouraging and educating policy makers in other weak nations and also prevent the production and exportation of dirty fuel and other unwholesome materials to Africa and other weak nations. This will protect our ecosystem and also prevent diseases and death which result from environmental pollution, it will save lives of even those  that are even ignorant, improve our well being and health, and save money in our pockets, and reduced pressure on our health facilities, and the generation unborn will be grateful to us.
Please disseminate this good message, let us make our planet Earth a better place.
STOP THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF DIRTY FUEL.
ONE LOVE
