The DENR-EMB action is in response to a complaint filed by a fishermen organization, “Samahang Mangingisda ng Paracale,” that Mercury poisoning has contaminated the town’s fishing lanes and two major rivers.
There are also apprehensions that the local potable water system is now at risk.
The complaint also included an allegation that a coastal resident died of Mercury poisoning after getting in contact with water contaminated with mining waste.
