TEGHUT EXPLOITATION RESULTS IN HEALTH DISEASES

Mining in Armenia is not accurately implemented as it
negatively influences on the environment and human
health, said Lilik Simonyan expert of -Armenian Women
for health and Protection of Environment-
organization.

-There is no doubt that Teghut mining will result in
creating working places but the problem worries not
only the environmentalists but the public also,- she
said. According to the expert every time a mining is
exploited large amount of hazardous and toxic elements
are wasted and they do harm to the human health and
environment.

The expert said that a question is rose in the
parliament to organize the mining activities in closed
atmosphere which will cost less harm to the
environment.
