URS Dames and Moore report

URS Dames & Moore had been commissioned by Hindustan Lever Limited (HLL) in 2001 to conduct an environmental site assessment and preliminary risk assessment for mercury at its wholly owned thermometer manufacturing facility located at Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu State. This follows publicity by Greenpeace and the Palini Hills Conservation Council after their discovery of glass scrap illegally disposed from the manufacturing facility to a scrapyard in Kodaikanal townsite.
