Regarding recent measurements at the IRIDEX landfill site
Following the actions to correctly determine the sources of H₂S emissions, which cause discomfort to citizens in the Chiajna area, especially at night, IRIDEX has recently carried out measurements on the night of August 26-27, between 22.00 - 05.00 am, and on the night of August 29-30 between 22.00 - 05.00 am, measurements to determine the H₂S concentrations, even on the site of the IRIDEX landfill, on 2 points, with a RENAR accredited laboratory.
All values recorded are well below the limits imposed by the Integrated Environmental Authorization, but also below the limits imposed by the legislation as limit values of danger to human health. The determined values demonstrate that the zone of influence of the repository cannot be more than 200-300 m away from the site boundaries.
As a result, it is absolutely necessary for the authorities to investigate the local sources of H₂S , which cause discomfort to citizens, in areas where exceedances have been determined and where citizens complain of odors.
IRIDEX GROUP will permanently continue to comply with the legislation and the provisions of the Integrated Environmental Authorization, but will also monitor all environmental factors.
Measurements carried out by the National Agency for Environmental Protection as well as by IRIDEX inside the landfill, demonstrates that the activities of the landfill in no way affect the population of the Chitila, Chiajna complaining of odors let alone the population of Sector 1 Bucharest, for which the City Hall of Sector 1 is concerned.
