The Kriviy Rih city authorities have adopted the environmental program for 2016-2025. The work on the program started in April.
ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih, as the main polluter, received the most environmental tasks. According to the environmental department, AMKR pollutions total 82% in the city.
But the management of the works asked to postpone the stopping of the open-hearth furnace shop until 2020 because of the world crisis in metal industry. The management explained this with the fact that when the shop closed, many citizens would be left without job. (Ukrainian metal)
