“Clean Up
Georgia-Phase III” Project
September, 2017 - Awareness Raising
Meetings
EAWM continues awareness raising meetings in the
regions of Georgia in the
framework of the “Clean Up Georgia – Phase III”
Project. The aim of the
meetings is to inform the municipalities on the
hazardous waste, in
particular, chlorine/chemicals, on the territory of
Georgia and its negative
impact on human health and the
environment.
In September 2017, the meetings took place in Keda
and Shuakhevi
municipalities (Adjara region).
Project
coordinators delivered a presentation on “Pollution of the
environment by
Hazardous Waste (Chlorine) and its Negative Impact on Human
Health and
Environment” and discussed the threats caused by chlorine (among
them, cases
on the territory of Georgia), utilization methods, security
measures and
issues related to HW management problems, the role of the
government,
prevention, etc.
Project coordinators instructed participants on
the safety response measures
to be addressed to avoid similar cases. In
addition, participants discussed
the negative impact of expired chemicals on
human health existing in school
laboratories.
The meeting was
attended by representatives from Keda and Shuakhevi Gamgeoba
(Administrative
Body of the Municipalities), and subordinate administrative
units.
The meetings raised interest among participants, who
expressed their
readiness to cooperate with the project. Project
coordinators distributed
EAWM flyers and Emergency Response Communication
Plan among the participants
of the meetings.
The project
“Clean Up Georgia-Phase III” is implemented by a Consortium of
NGOs
“Ecological Awareness and Waste Management”, Georgian Society of Nature
Explorers “Orchis” and “Greens Movement of Georgia/Friends of the
Earth
-Georgia” with the financial support of the Swedish
Government.
