LIVE DATA
Slovnaft emits 500+ tonnes of VOCs annually (NEIS 2024) β—† Benzene has NO safe exposure level β€” classified Group 1 carcinogen by WHO/IARC β—† New incinerator would add dioxins & furans to an already critically polluted industrial zone β—† 1.2 million people live within 20 km of these emission sources in Bratislava region β—† Dioxins accumulate in food chain β€” milk, eggs, meat from local farms up to 50 km downwind β—† SOβ‚‚ surface enhancement 1.67Γ— measured downwind of Slovnaft (Sentinel-5P TROPOMI data) β—† Bratislava respiratory disease rates 23% above national average β€” PetrΕΎalka & RuΕΎinov most affected β—† EU Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) limits routinely approached or exceeded at Slovnaft facility β—† Children <5 years and elderly 65+ face 3Γ— higher sensitivity to PM2.5 and benzene exposure β—† Wind from SW (prevailing direction) carries Slovnaft emissions directly over populated city districts
