In 1989 while working in West Africa I discovered tons of waste dumped in Guinea Bissau. Questioning this with the government led to my deportation. Officials in these countries are open to bribery which is the main cause for this waste landing up there. The dumping of toxic waste to countries such as Brazil is nothing new.
