Slovensko v ohrození? Ukrajina hazarduje so životnosťou reaktora neďaleko Černobyľu

aktualne.sk | December 8, 2015

BRATISLAVA – Rada Ukrajinského jadrového regulátora v pondelok rozhodla o tom, že reaktor Južno-Ukrajinský 2, ktorý je len o 130 km ďalej od Bratislavy ako Černobyľ, má byť v prevádzke o desať rokov dlhšie ako je jeho predpísaná životnosť. Reaktor bol od mája dočasne odstavený kvôli nesplneniu prioritných bezpečnostných opatrení. Časť z nich však zostáva nezrealizovaná. Mimovládne organizácie žiadajú vlády okolitých krajín, vrátane slovenskej, aby podnikli kroky na zvýšenie jadrovej bezpečnosti v regióne.


Miliony euro przeciw smogowi. Jak je podzielić? Na co wydać?

Wyborcza.pl | December 7, 2015

Czy Małopolska dobrze wyda 100 milionów euro na walkę z zanieczyszczeniem powietrza? Zieloni mają co do tego wątpliwości, bo za małe wsparcie ma pójść na odnawialne źródła energii.


Bankwatch sê Dundee belieg publiek

Republikein | December 7, 2015

Die internasionale nie-regeringsorganisasie CEE Bankwatch Network sê Dundee Precious Metals (DPM) onderspeel doelbewus die gevare van anorganiese arseentrioksied, ’n neweproduk van die smeltingsproses van koper by die smeltery op Tsumeb. In werklikheid, wys Bankwatch daarop, het die VSA se Agentskap vir Gifstowwe en Siekteregister arseentrioksied as “een van die giftigste en algemene vorme van arseen” geklassifiseer.


Corporates at COP

The Verb | December 3, 2015

As the climate talks roll on in Paris, there’s a certain smell in the air. It isn’t the apples or chocolate being handed out at the entrance to the conference centre, nor the popular free coffees being handed out by the German government. It’s the smell of greenwashing. And this isn’t the first time.


COP21: How glacial melt and toxic waste could spell disaster in Kyrgyzstan

IRIN | December 2, 2015

BISHKEK, 2 décembre 2015 (IRIN) – High in Kyrgyzstan’s Tian Shan Mountains, the twin effects of climate change and gold mining have combined to pose a potential environmental and human health disaster. A melting glacier is feeding a rapidly expanding lake, which experts fear could burst its banks and overrun a mine tailings pond, releasing toxic waste into the region’s water system.


Ministerie sê oor Dundee-stortingsterrein

Republikein | November 30, 2015

Die ministerie van die om­gewing en toerisme is bewus van die terrein by die Dundee Precious Metals-aanleg op Tsumeb waar arseen in groot sakke in die wind en weer lê en meen ’n langtermynoplossing is die totale verwydering van alle materiale wat tans daar geberg word. Só het die omgewingskommissaris van die ministerie van die omgewing en toerisme, mnr. Teofilus Nghitila, Donderdag gesê in reaksie op ’n artikel in ’n dagblad na aanleiding van ’n internasionale verslag. In dié verslag word aangevoer dat Dundee arseen op ’n oop perseel “opgaar” voordat dit verkoop en uitgevoer word.


Na zielonej Ukrainie duże problemy z ekologią

Wyborcza.biz | November 28, 2015

– Zabili mi wszystkie ryby i jeszcze bezczelnie kłamią, że nic się nie stało – mówi Roman Iwanowicz Depa i pokazuje zdjęcia. Depa hoduje ryby w zbiorniku wodnym przy elektrociepłowni w Dobrotworze.

Kosovo aims to secure largest ever investment amid political crisis

BNE Intellinews | November 26, 2015

Pristina is moving towards a deal with US-based ContourGlobal on the planned Kosova e Re power plant, which at a cost of €1bn will be the largest investment in the country’s history. The government says the project will solve Kosovo’s chronic electricity shortages by replacing the aging Kosova A thermal power plant – considered Europe’s worst polluter – with a modern 500MW plant. However, the strong opposition to the plans to build a new coal-fired power plant close to the capital could add to the ongoing unrest within Kosovo.


Dundee brushes off poisoning claims

Namibian Sun | November 25, 2015

The Tsumeb-based mining company responded yesterday to questions sent by Namibian Sun on Monday, following an article that was published by international non-government (NGO) group BankWatch which claimed that the waste disposal site at the Tsumeb Smelter is piling up with arsenic left from the smelting of European ore – sparking fears of soil and water contamination. DPM spokesperson Alina Garises says BankWatch has a long history of being against mining of any sort.
