Victoria Burnazyan, Vice-president of "Ecolur" Informational NGO, states that the main source of air pollution in Yerevan are more than 20 non-metallic mines operating in Yerevan, the ongoing construction, eroded lands, lack of green areas. Victoria Burnazyan draws attention to the fact that the content of dust in the air contains a number of elements that are dangerous for humans.
"Copper, nickel, molybdenum has the highest density, there is also lead, titanium, chromium, arsenic, cobalt and a number of other elements that are dangerous for health," Burnazyan emphasizes.
According to him, great efforts should be made to create green spaces, in addition, strict control works should be implemented.
"Supervision should be carried out so that all norms are observed during construction and mining. There should be trees near the mines, which should protect the city so that the dust does not fall on the city, the buffer zone should be completely greened, there should be strict control so that there are no violations and we can solve this problem to some extent," Vice-president of "EcoLur" Informational NGO says.
