Significantly increased dioxin levels have been detected near the Lagun landfill on Bonaire following fires that occurred earlier this month. The Milieuongevallen Dienst (MOD) reported that dioxin concentrations exceeded safe limits, prompting health concerns among local residents. Health authorities advise against consuming fruits, vegetables, and livestock from the affected area. The government is considering intervening amid ongoing complaints regarding environmental risks linked to the landfill.
