“Clean Up Georgia-Phase III” Project - 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 June 2017, the meetings took place in Adigeni, Kareli and Ambrolauri
municipalities. 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
(including the 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.



During the meeting in Ambrolauri, the Head of Municipality informed EAWM
coordinators of the possible burial of chlorine cylinders on the territory
of village Uravi, where arsenic was being processed in the Soviet times. The
Head of Municipality had no information regarding the quantity and substance
in the buried cylinders.



Project coordinators distributed EAWM flyers and Emergency Response
Communication Plan among the participants of the meetings. Meetings raised
interest among participants, who expressed their readiness to cooperate with
the project.



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.
