Doctors Demand Clean Air, Cancel Glencore's Horne Smelter Concessions
Description
Doctors in Quebecs Abitibi-Témiscamingue region urge new premier Christine Fréchette to scrap special concessions for Glencores Horne Smelter, which has been polluting beyond safe limits for years. The smelters arsenic emissions often exceed Quebec standards, and recent bill changes pushed back the deadline for meeting emission standards. Local doctors, backed by the Quebec Association of Physicians for the Environment, demand prioritizing clean air over corporate breaks, as the pollution is harming public health, particularly children and families in the area.
