Clean-up of toxic waste at Libcany concluded

The clean-up of an illegal toxic waste dump in the town of Libcany has been successfully concluded. The firm in charge of the operation said that since last April it had removed more than 600 tons of toxic waste from the site of the former Vertex chemicals company. Experts are now testing soil and underground water for possible contamination. The chemicals company Vertex went bankrupt some years ago and simply abandoned the plant leaving all the toxic waste on the premises. Four people have been charged in connection with the case.
