In addition, the use of cyanide in the stomach can pose a serious threat to the life and health of residents.
According to the report, the fact of innocence was registered among the residents. A similar situation prevails in Varziga’s copper mine. Sungun copper culture, which is especially important for the region, has caused environmental pollution.
