Czech Current Affairs:
Greenpeace concerned over high levels of dioxins in blood samples
------------------------------------------------------------------ The
Spolana chemical plant, north of Prague, has been making headlines in
the past few years, suspected of leaking chemical substances that are
health threatening to residents of the surrounding area. The Czech
branch of Greenpeace has put much energy into bringing awareness to the
possible presence of toxic levels of dioxins and says that its fears
have now been confirmed by a recent study that proves citizens of the
towns of Libis, Neratovice, and Tisice, closest to the chemical plant,
are indeed exposed to contamination.
