Cancer-Causing Ethanol Emissions Cause Stir in Kakinada District

Deccan Chronicle  

KAKINADA: Emissions released by ethanol plants are causing cancers and other health disorders to the people of their surrounding areas in the Kakinada district and the governments should keep public health in mind when giving permissions to such projects, said K. Babu Rao and K. Venkata Reddy, who represent the Scientists for People’ organisation. They sent representations to the district collector and the state government on adverse impacts on the ethanol factory at Gummalladoddi village in Gokavaram mandal on Thursday. Babu Rao said an ethanol plant located in Krishna district brought down the yield substantially and farmers in the surrounding areas of the plant have been struggling to continue their agriculture. The scientist also found fault with the technical committee, formed by the district collector to assess the pollution contents from the ethanol unit in Gokavaram mandal.
