Citizens of Bulgaria’s town of Haskovo (Southeast Bulgaria) have initiated a petition against the pollution of the local drinking water with uranium. The petition will be sent to Bulgaria’s Ombudsman Maya Manolova. It became clear that the water in Haskovo was polluted with uranium one year ago. All institutions in Haskovo-the Regional Health Inspectorate, the local water and wastewater company, Haskovo Municipality and the district administration were informed about the high concentration of uranium in the water on April 27, 2016. However, no institution has undertaken measures aimed at solving that problem. The citizens of Haskovo should go under a full health screening, the participants at the petition said.
