In Tula, the smog that covered Kosaya Gora was associated with the activities of KMZ

Residents of Spicy Mountain in early November complained of thick haze and unpleasant taste in the air. In their opinion, the source could be Kosogorsk metallurgical plant. About what is happening there and how the authorities reacted to it, writes IA “Tula press”.

The regional Ministry of agriculture and ecology confirmed that on November 2 and 3 haze was observed, but there was no smell. At the enterprise itself, abnormal situations were not recorded - the plant worked as usual.

According to officials, the haze could appear due to the technological process of granulation of slag, which forms steam: in windless weather, it dissipates more slowly.

Nevertheless, after the air inspection and the appeal of a local resident, Rosprirodnadzor issued a warning to KMZ about the inadmissibility of violations in the field of atmospheric protection. Recently, the work of the plant raises more and more questions for Tulyaks - in March there was a fire of gas, and in October the company received a warning because of possible waste dumping.

Earlier, “MK in Tula” reported that blogger Kirill Kolesnikov (vkoobey) noticed the similarity of the Tula Kosogorsk Metallurgical Plant with “The Walking Castle” from the cartoon Hayao Miyazaki. According to him, the plant resembles a fabulous mechanism.
