Message: Coniston pushes back against chromite smelter

It would appear our irrate lady in the article Ringer posted left out the conclusion to the article she made available to everyone at the Coniston meeting:

This is the post by Ringer:

This is the link to the comment our irrate lady made:

This is her comment again:

"In Finland, wild lingonberries were found to be contaminated with chromium and other heavy metals by air emissions from a chromium mine and ferrochrome and stainless steel plant," a case study mentioned (it is available online at tinyurl.com/yb3bzxok). "Concentrations were higher within a distance of about 3 km from the facilities. Nickel, vanadium and lead were associated with the chromium processing plant while cadmium was linked to the mine."

She admits she is no expert, but Kearney says there are a lot of red flags causing her concern.

This is the conclusion to the article that she should have considered mentioning:

Conclusion

This review focused on broad potential health 

effects from chromite mining and processing 

including chromium sensitization, the 

environmental fate and transport of chromium 

including exposure pathways to humans, and 

mitigation strategies to prevent harmful 

exposures. While health and safety risks are 

associated with exposures to chromium (VI) and 

many other hazards in the mining and metal 

processing industries, considerable knowledge 

and experience exist from which to draw 

health-protective strategies and techniques. A 

comprehensive health and environmental 

impact assessment prior to the initiation of any 

chromite mining and processing can review 

discharges to the environment and potential 

pathways of exposure for workers and 

members of the public. Specific mitigation and 

control strategies can be then employed to 

ensure that objectives related to protection of 

human health and the environment are met.
