An essay (Ivory Coast poisonous bail out victims embrace 21m in compensation, World News, Mar 26) referred to a critical situation of rubbish transfer in the Ivory Coast in 2006 from a boat franchised by the Trafigura company. It settled that seventeen people had died and thousands were treated with colour in sanatorium for poisoning.
The essay additionally pragmatic that sites in Abidjan where the rubbish was dumped sojourn polluted.
We instruct to have transparent that the transfer was not carried out by Trafigura as the essay might have referred to but by an eccentric internal executive but Trafiguras management or knowledge.
Furthermore, in Sep 2009 lawyers for Ivorians who were suing Trafigura over injuries allegedly caused by the transfer concurred that at misfortune the rubbish could usually have caused flu-like symptoms.
In 2009 Trafigura commissioned WSP Environment Energy, a heading tellurian environmental consultancy, to cruise either residual contaminants compared with the rubbish remained at purported ordering sites. We understand, and accept, that WSP was incompetent to brand any persisting environmental issues outset from the rubbish nor, therefore, any risk to human health.
We apologize for these errors.
