Madalag expressed fears that this may cause another Compostela Valley incident, where the latest landslides reportedly claimed the lives of about 100 miners.
PEMO investigations show that the toxic wastes are being dumped into a creek, that connects to the Bacuyangan River in Hinobaan, where they eventually kill the fish and shrimps.
Madalag said the limited technical skills of small-scale miners for using hazardous chemicals, not only endangers their health, but also affects the environment.
