In Part 2 of Wednesday's Public Inquiry, the focus shifts from planning policy to public health. Retired GP Dr Alan Evans and consultant surgeon Dr Michael Mullan gave evidence on radon, arsenic, lead and tellurium, raising questions about the potential health implications of mining and why these issues matter to communities living in the Sperrins. This episode also explores why local concerns should not be dismissed as fear, but understood in the wider context of mining communities across the world. In this episode: The evidence on radon and why it matters. Concerns surrounding arsenic, lead and tellurium. Why tellurium became a point of debate at the Inquiry. The difference between geological timescales and human timescales. Why the experiences of mining communities worldwide deserve to be heard. 🎧 If you value independent reporting from inside the Public Inquiry, please subscribe, share this episode and help others stay informed.
