It was claimed that the leaked acid was neutralized after the intervention made by the officers in the truck and the expert teams of the gold mine using gas masks and protective equipment. However, we could not find any information about the size of the leak. . The Gold mine official, who did not want his name to be written, shared the information that Sulfuric acid was stopped before it reached the drinking water and sewage water source and that the acid was neutralized with the equipment in the truck and the equipment of the Gold mine. We would like to share some questions that come to mind after the accident. – How did we determine that it did not mix with groundwater? Has any analysis been done? If so, the place and reliability of the analysis? – How can an acid leak occur from a burst in the truck’s hose while standing still in the town center, which does not even have a discharge area. ? – Are the necessary precautions taken by the gold mine officials and subcontractor carriers for the health of the people of the District? – Is there a patient identified as having been exposed to Sulfuric acid, a highly toxic subordinate? – In addition to the internal investigation of the Gold Mine, is the investigation carried out by the police or the gendarmerie?
