Lindeners promised more relief from bauxite dust pollution

Residents of Linden are poised to enjoy additional relief from the dust pollution caused by bauxite mining as Chinese bauxite mining company, Bosai Minerals Group (Guyana) Inc. (BMGGI), has promised to implement more robust dust collection measures.

This is according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Director General, Vincent Adams, who has told Stabroek News that while the EPA acknowledges that Bosai has put much effort and resources into mitigating dust pollution over the years, it is not yet enough.

Adams has also told this newspaper that the implementation of monitoring mechanisms, to ensure that emissions meet prescribed standards, will accompany the additional measures to combat dust pollution.
