The photo exhibition which is provided by the NGO "Armenian Women for Health and Healthy Environment" (AWHHE) presents photos from the Nubarashen Pesticide Dumping Site. The Nubarashen burial ground of obsolete pesticides was constructed still in 1982 but the constructors had considered neither the locality conditions nor the safety rules. They had just dug at a depth of 5 meters and buried the obsolete pesticides with an amount of about 600 tons, mainly DDT, in bags and containers just placing them one over the over. As far as the burial ground is in the active landslide \locality the burial ground with all its content has been sliding downwards to the near territories for about 30 years on end. In the vicinity of the burial ground are located not only the three villages, but also Erebuni reserve. The length of the burial ground is 100m, the width is 20 m, and the depth is less than 5 meters. The approximate volume is estimated at 10.000 m³.
In 2004 the area was fenced in and the signs prohibiting the entrance to the territory were placed. But the posts with barbed wire fence were destroyed in some sections by the people, the barbed wires were cut and the prohibition signs disappeared. In 2008 and 2010 cases of excavation of the burial ground were registered. Pesticides were taken out and scattered about the surface of the ground, the post with barbed wire fence were fallen down to the ground, the gate was destroyed. A big environmental harm was caused to the territory, and a real threat of emergency occurred.
