The deadly impact of oil giants’ toxic air pollution on children and the planet has been revealed in a BBC News Arabic investigation from the front line of climate change in Iraq.
Scientific tests carried out for the BBC indicated high levels of carcinogenic chemicals in communities living on oil fields in Iraq.
The Iraqi government and oil companies around the world have committed to end flaring by 2030.
However, Iraq currently has the second highest level of gas flaring in the world, which is the poisonous practice of burning excess gas during oil production.
