Moving sulfur from refineries to storage facilities and keeping it in open-air spaces are among the polluting sources in Asalouyeh, Bushehr Province. It has contaminated the air and soil, the provincial head of Department of Environment said.
“DOE has filed lawsuits against oil, gas and petrochemical plants in the region for storing sulfur in the open. Few, if any, verdicts have been issued so far that can help us strongly protect the environment,” Farhad Qolinezhad was quoted as saying by ISNA.
Building roofed warehouses is on the agenda energy companies…they should have started constructing such storages long ago, he added.
Safe storing facilities is a must to ensure that sulfur doesn't harm the environment.
