After sitting on a so-called 'steering committee' for the DEC 's Kwinana air toxics study, allegedly providing advise to the DEC on where to locate monitors and what pollutants of concern are to be monitored, we are now told;
Due to DEC funding cuts the measuring of pollutants in the Kwinana airshed will not go ahead as discussed, planned and agreed.
The DEC's air toxic study (renamed air quality study to appease Kwinana industry) was to monitor pollutants of concern in Kwinana residential areas, but the DEC now claim that due to cuts in funding they HAVE DECIDED not to monitor for many hazardous pollutants such as VOC's, eg. Benzine and Ammonia.
The State Government are potentially playing with people's lives by not monitoring for these highly toxic and in many cases carcinogenic compounds. Kwinana has the largest mix of polluting industry in the state.
This is a disgrace - We have a right to know what is in the air we breathe.

We have stated since the Court era
that we believe community have a right to know what's in the Air we breath.
The only rights we're given is what they decide on. Playing with people's lives is their pass time.
We are expected to believe all is fine because they (industry & government) say so.
