In 2010 the Center for Noosphere Studies implemented “Assessing risk of agricultural products pollution with heavy metals in Armenia” in Alaverdi Town and Neghots and Qarkop Communities next to Akhtala Town. According to the studies, heavy metals have been detected in the crops and wild berries grown in Alaverdi, Neghots and Qarkop Villages, including high concentrations of primary toxic elements such as arsenic and cadmium, which are carcinogenic and pose great danger to people’s health.
