Policy brief on environment impact assessment of the regional recovery and destruction centre for hazardous waste in the Western Slovakia region.
This activity responds to plans by the NISAK Company to build a new hazardous waste incinerator in the middle of the Western Slovakia region, which would be dedicated to burn wastes containing high levels of POPs. The study critically examines the environmental and health impact of the project and discusses it in light of Stockholm Convention objectives. The activity also prepared a public awareness-raising campaign on POPs and a plan for public participation in decision-making processes concerning POPs.
