POLLUTE TO MEASURE POLLUTION

24 Aug 06
The government of Armenia adopted a highly important document August
24, which maintains the order, standards, methods, etc. of measuring
the pollution of land in Armenia. After this decision of the government
the Ministry of Health will work out the parameters to find out later
which lands are polluted, where, how, with what, etc.
In other words, the document adopted by the government August 24 will
prevent pollution of land in Armenia, or if it is polluted, we will
learn the degree and cause of pollution. Meanwhile, the Ministry of
Environmental Protection does not know the degree of pollution of
land in Armenia, because it does not hold monitoring for the lack of
parameters, money and laboratories. The lack of a laboratory is the
same as the lack of money. What has changed now that they decided
to have a laboratory? Perhaps the economic state, for now they can
afford it. It appears, however, that the laboratory is no longer a
necessity since the land has been polluted over the past 15 years
without measure and limit. Although, on the other hand, it is logical
that the government adopts the order for measuring pollution with
some delay. For we need to pollute first to measure pollution.
