Kremlin-appointed authorities in Russian-occupied Crimea have closed a Ukrainian titanium plant in Armyansk, in the north of the peninsula, for two weeks due to high concentration of hazardous substances in the air there. The announcement came on Sep. 4 from the Russia-appointed head of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov.
“Last night, due to air temperature fluctuations, the concentration of sulphur dioxide (a toxic gas with an acrid odor) in the air exceeded the norms,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Kindergartens and schools in Armyansk have been closed for two weeks too. Teenagers and children of preschool age with their mothers will be sent to sanatoriums and summer camps.
