(MENAFN- AzerNews) The Georgian National Environmental Agency on Tuesday
said a study of 59 main physical and chemical parameters of waters
along the Black Sea coastline had shown it to be“within the norm,”
Azernews reports, citing AGENDA.
The body said the samples from the past two weeks had
shown the parameters to be in the expected range, after
concentration of 13 heavy metals, total petroleum hydrocarbons, 16
polyaromatic hydrocarbons and other physico-chemical parameters was
studied.
The Agency monitors the quality of coastline waters
once every 10 days at nine stations, including three added on July
10 near the Anaklia-Gammukhuri area, following public concern about
the threat of contaminated waters from the destruction of the
Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine in June reaching Georgia's coastal
areas.
In its comments, the environmental body also said the
samples were examined in its laboratory, which it said was
“internationally accredited” and“fully meets modern requirements
and standards”.
