Global day of action on POPs in Armenia: no incinerators in Armenia.
Armenian Women for Health and Healthy Environment designed a poster on POPs health hazards and presented information at different levels about potential POPs releases from a planned waste incinerator in Armenia. Specialists of the NGO participated in different events, dealing with incinerator construction issues, including two discussions on the activity "Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Master Plan of Urban Development of Yerevan" (April-May 2005), as well as meetings of the Consultative Council on Solid Municipal Waste Management under the Ministry of Urban Development of Armenia. Information materials on health and environmental hazards of waste incinerators were developed and disseminated.
