"Lack of sanitary-hygienic norms in the republic may cause serious
problems," Yelena Manvelyan, leader of "Armenian women for health
and healthy environment" NGO, told a conference on chemical safety,
water and sanitary improvement today. The conference discussed water
and irrigation water insufficiency, fertilization and other issues.

The deputy director of the organization, Lilit Simonyan, said that
tests are taken in Kotaik region, village of Fantan and Zoraghbiut
