Electrical appliances, which emit harmful carbons, would no longer be allowed into the country from the 1st of January next year.
The move has become necessary because some electrical gadgets like refrigerators and air conditioners release unhealthy substances into the atmosphere, which deplete the ozone layer and threaten agriculture in the process.
Addressing the opening session of a workshop to discuss ways of dealing with ozone layer depletion, Environment Minister Sherry Ayittey said Ghana views the problem as one, which needs urgent attention.
