IMMINENT DANGER
Do you know that hundreds of tons of chemicals, which may cause cancer upon contact, are kept in a storage site in Kocaeli? Do you further know that such chemicals can be carried by water and air; cause cancer and other serious medical problems upon contact or inhaling; if not intervened, may cause grave dangers to people in our country and in the world, and even an ecological crisis; simple inquiries show that they are not produced or used anywhere in the world; and can spread over so large areas that they may end up resurfacing at the poles? This type of chemicals is called Persistent Organic Pollutants, or POPs.
