<b>RUSSIA: Toxic truth of secretive Siberian city</b>
"http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=14443"

<i>Norilsk Nickel, ... is the world's largest producer of both
nickel and palladium. It made more than $2bn net profit in the first
half of last year alone and company officials told us there is
enough ore in the mines around Norilsk to keep them in business for
at least another 30 years. </i>

The largest use of palladium today is in catalytic converters.[7]

Are you really protecting the environment with technology, like
catalytic converters, to clean up the air in your own backyard when
it causes so much pollution elsewhere?

Someone really needs to do an assessment of the environmental costs
of some of the "environmental" solutions we've come up with.
