The Armenian Time reported that Rusal Armenal is going to create a
cemetery of industrial wastes in the premises of the company located
in the gorge of the Hrazdan River. It is intended for a period of
ten years and will occupy an open area of 3300 square meters.
"The project may cause grave environmental issues, especially that the
plant and the future cemetery are within Arabkir District of Yerevan.
Wastes with 1-5 degrees of hazard will be kept at the cemetery,
namely used mercury lamps and mercury thermometers, led accumulators,
scrap black metal, bronze wastes, wastes of hardened heterogeneous
plastic mixtures etc. Environmentalists fear that wastes may poison
water of Yerevan," the newspaper reported.
