A mixture of toxic fly ash with slag from the Liberec waste incinerator, which was sold by the Termizo company, without authorisation, for construction purposes for more than a year, contaminated the environment in the Protected Landscape Area Jizerské hory (Jizera Mountains). Arnika found this, at the instance of local citizens, when it took samples from a bicycle path which had been constructed by the Strabag company in Oldřichov v Hájích municipality, with support from the European Union Funds, for 1.121 million CZK.
