A fight for clean air in Amsterdam and the permit for ICL: a message is sent, 20 January 2026

A fight for clean air in Amsterdam: on Tuesday 20 January 2026, the local action group Adem Vrij aan het IJ  (https://ademvrijaanhetij.nl) again shared their concerns about the emissions of the ICL fertiliser factory in their neighbourhood. They presented Jeroen Olthof, deputy of the province of North Holland, with a New Year's card from about 170 residents, all wishing for stronger measures to deal with the ICL factory. BRAM RADIO's Dominik Kucera was at the event and spoke with various parties to find out what's at the heart of this protest. (The province and the environmental service will come up with a new permit for ICL at the end of January, reports AT5.) Audio report by Dominik Kucera for BRAM RADIO, the online radio station for Amsterdam, produced by Stichting Broadcast Amsterdam. https://broadcastamsterdam.nl
