“The volume of buried waste was 500 tons per month. The company worked in this way for several years, increasing the amount of production. Its activities could lead to significant environmental pollution and create an ecological disaster,” said Denis Zakabluk, speaker of the SBU in Vinnitsa region.
Substance toxins were waste products of glycerin purification.
Local officials stated that the enterprise is operating legally, and there is a permit for the disposal of chemicals.
