Parameters of carbon monoxide and particulate toxic matters were exceeding the prescribed limits of the provincial environmental quality standards during the soya bean and pet-coke handling at the Karachi port in February last year when 17 people died in the Keamari area and hundreds of others were affected.
This was stated by the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (Sepa) on Thursday in a report submitted to the Sindh High Court (SHC) on the alleged gas leakage incident.
Filing the final report in respect of the gas leakage incident in Keamari, the Sepa director general (DG) said a Sepa team visited the Karachi port where a ship was anchored loaded with soya bean imported from the United States on the berths 10 and 11, which was being unloaded. The SHC was informed that the environmental watchdog’s team observed high intensity of dust emission during the process of unloading of soya bean on February 17, 2020.
