Pollution detector installed

PURWAKARTA, West Java: An air pollution monitoring instrument
will soon be installed in this rapidly industrializing district
of West Java, Antara reported yesterday.

"It's time for Purwakarta to have such an instrument to
measure the air pollution caused by the town's factories," the
head of the local health office, H.M. Aried Achdiar Adiwinata,
said.

He said locals have been complaining of the stench coming from
factory waste, particularly on rainy days.

The local health office is also to regularly check on the
health of residents, particularly those living in the
subdistricts of Cicadas and Cilangkap, which are located near the
factories. (swe)
