Dear Mr. Simmons,
On 14th August 2023 I sampled the water from the lagoon receiving discharged water from APEC Kolath. These samples were sent to the Tara Laboratory in New Delhi for analysis.
I have now received the laboratory reports from the analysis and can confirm the presence of high levels of dioxins and phthalates water samples. These are all above the legal limits imposed by the Ministry of Water Resources in the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. The contaminants are detailed below:

Sample summary

Hydrogen chloride
Sulphate
Dissolved Carbon Dioxide
Sulphuric Acid
Chlorine
Phosphoric Acid
If I can be of any help with water decontamination or further water or soil sampling please do not hesitate to call.
Yours sincerely,
S. Rajan
