Styrofoam not biodegradable, poses serious health risks – EPA CEO warns

" The EPA Chief also raised concerns about the potential health effects of using styrofoam food containers, particularly when they are used to serve hot meals.

Nana Ama Browne Klutse, has urged Ghanaians to stop using Styrofoam products, warning that they are not biodegradable and pose significant environmental and health risks.

She said although some polystyrene products used for medical purposes would be handled through separate engagements with the health sector, the ban would apply broadly to products used by the general public.
