-hydrocarbons ruled out
By Milton Grannum
The recent mystery seepage through tiles in several homes at Crane, West Coast Demerara is likely to be some type of hydroxide based on the EPA’s preliminary findings and hydrocarbons have been ruled out.
The revelation was made during an interview with Stabroek News yesterday, which included Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Kemraj Parsram; Senior Lecturer at the University of Guyana Chemistry Department and Chemist Patrick Ketwaru; and Head of the Emergency Response Team Joel Gravesande at the EPA’s head office in Georgetown.
Over the last month, several Crane residents have been in limbo after a substance oozed up under tiles in their houses.
