Hà Tĩnh denies Formosa pollution link
Authorities in central Hà Tĩnh Province denied the connection between Formosa’s waste water discharge and the reddish streak appeared on water edge near the province’s Sơn Dương wharf. A joint force between local authorities and the Institute of Environmental Technology yesterday afternoon announced their testing results and affirmed that the reddish streak did not start from the Hưng Nghiệp Formosa Steel Corporation’s sullage pit. Nguyễn Văn Toàn, the institute’s inspector said his taskforce team had arrived at the site to monitor the discharge of Formosa and took samples for testing three times in a month and at different time a day, but no link between the streak and Formosa waste water discovered.
