| Abstract: | A survey was carried out in Accra to find out the method of processing "Wele" a meat product produced from cattle hides. The survey revealed that during the initial processing (singeing) of the hides, scrap rubber tyres were used as a cheap source of fuel. Consultations with Bonsa Tyre Company Limited and Chemistry Department, University of Ghana respectively, contributed in throwing more light on the chemical ingredients that go into tyre production and the probable toxic component that may be imparted to the end product. Suggestions for further work in this area are also given |
