Contaminated playgrounds in Rustavi pose health risks to children
Children in Rustavi are exposed to banned chemicals on contaminated playgrounds and through locally consumed food.
Research by the Czech NGO Arnika and the Georgian civic initiative Gavigudet indicates that children in Rustavi, an industrial center, play on playgrounds contaminated with banned chemicals and are exposed to high levels of industrial pollutants and pesticides through locally produced food. The contamination reflects an ongoing toxic industrial legacy and potential illegal pesticide use, raising serious public health concerns for residents, especially children.
