"One of the main sources of concern from the Darwin project is particulate matter emissions from these facilities," he said.
"Over time, it's been well documented [that] populations living with high levels of fine particulate matter in their air have higher mortality rates." "There are toxic air emissions that are potentially cancer causing; formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are among the larger emission sources," Dr Petroni said.The Director of the NT Environment Centre Kirsty Howey is calling on both governments to drop the proposal, arguing it poses similar risks to notorious plants along the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge to New Orleans in the United States.
"The evidence speaks for itself in terms of the impacts of these sorts of petrochemical facilities, and that's why we have obtained a report from an expert from the US to look at what sorts of impacts these facilities are producing right now in real time.The Environment Centre NT's Kirsty Howey says the project poses similar risks to those posed by plants in the US.
