Editorial – Bauxite dust

Concerns have been expressed among residents and organizations in Linden and at the level of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over bauxite dust emission particularly on the western side of the Demerara River.

No one wants to appear unduly alarmist about the situation and the Executive Director of the EPA, the Regional Chairman, Region Ten and the Regional Health Officer, Region Ten have all been measured in their responses to enquiries made by this newspaper about the dust menace.
