Response to JSC “Rustavi Azoti” Emission
Response to JSC “Rustavi Azoti” Emission
In the evening hours of September 21st, emissions from “Rustavi Azoti” were detected. This has been reported to the Department of Environmental Supervision.
We have traditionally requested information (see photo N1) on the department’s response to a call regarding emissions. On October 4th, we received an answer from them (see photo N2) and, as it turns out, “on the basis of a telephone message, the relevant authorized persons of the department carried out an inspection of the enterprise of JSC “Rustavis Azoti”. During the inspection, two workshops were in a working condition, namely in the ammonia and ammonium nitrate workshop. In addition, as a result of the inspection, the fact of unorganized emission was not revealed.”
Although during the visit of the inspectors, no unorganized emission was observed, the fact is that there was an intense emission that evening, and it is more interesting to us whether such an emission fits into the norm or not, so on October 5th, we once again addressed the department with a clarifying letter (see photo N3) and asked whether the self-monitoring system detected an exceedance of the limited values for the specific pollutants that evening; In addition, we requested for the data recorded by the system.
