A film posted on the website YouTube.com describes the dangerous ecological situation in Danceni village of Ialoveni district created after implementing a project to destroy rocket fuel and other toxic substances on the territory of a local military unit in 2002. The ecologists contacted by Info-Prim Neo said the project implemented with the support of NATO took into account all the negative consequences. However, they do not rule out that there could be a problem as the ecologists hadn’t been provided with a case study in that period, Info-Prim Neo reports. The film says that over 200 tonnes of rocket fuel S 200 were destroyed at the military unit in Danceni in 2002. There were poured out about 50 tonnes of mélange, a very toxic substance. In order to hide this ‘offence’, a plot about 1 hectare in area was cleared of trees. The anonymous author of the film says the flora on this plot mutated and that this project was a real crime hidden by the government, with the population in this zone being subject to ‘chemical genocide’. The author considers that Danceni village should be decreed a technogen disaster zone and there should be created an international commission that would investigate this case. Contacted by Info-Prim Neo, Vladimir Garaba, the head of the Chisinau Local Organization of the Ecological Movement of Moldova, said that though the rocket fuel was destroyed not according to European, but Ukrainian technology, it was destroyed completely. He stressed that the ecologists monitored the situation at that time. “The villagers informed that rocket fuzes were destroyed there. We got involved and those objects were taken to the Bulboaca range and destroyed there,” Garaba said. No problems have been identified since then. “However, if there is a danger, the Ecological Movement is ready to investigate the case,” Vladimir Garaba said. The head of the Regional Environmental Center REC “Moldova” Valeriu Isac said that the NATO specialists in 2002 took measures to prevent negative consequences. “The only observation of the Ministry of Ecology was that dangerous substances were sent out during burning. But I don’t think they could remain from that time.” Valeriu Isac did not exclude that residues could remain in the ground, but only scientists can establish this.
