Earth, water, air, life and lithium batteries - what is the price of progress and who pays it? It's just one of the questions in the new Insider debate, which will discuss, among other things: How safe is lithium mining? Can processing technologies eliminate environmental hazards and who guarantees this? If the profession also has different views, on what basis do citizens take a stand on lithium mining? How did we get to the dilemma - money or life? The participants of the Debate on Insider TV are those who are referred to by both opponents and advocates of the project, namely scientists. Professor of the Faculty of Forestry, Ratko Ristić, and engineer hydrogeologist, Vladimir Marinković, who is also a member of the Departmental Committee for Environmental Protection of the Democratic Party, represented a part of the profession that advocates the complete abandonment of the project, which they claim can permanently damage the environment. The professor of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, Aleksandar Jovović, and the professor of the Faculty of Mining and Geology in Belgrade, Aleksandar Cvjetić, expressed the view that the project can be implemented with an acceptable impact on the environment. 00:00 - Do we have enough information about the Lithium Mining project in Serbia? 06:30 - Project "Jadar" in the interest of foreign companies or public interest? 10:14 – What is more important, the economy or the environment? 15:50 – Why is there arsenic around the wells of Rio Tinto? 21:32 – Can there be environmental pollution and arsenic poisoning? 23:54 - Problems in the process of extracting ore "Jadarita" 34:41 - Tailings, waste and the danger of leakage in Jadar 46:42 - Wastewater treatment? 48:43 – Is it sustainable to plan environmental protection with lithium? 52:20 – What will the water purification process look like? 58:06 – Money or life? #InsajderDebata on Thursdays at 21.00 on #Insajdertv Just watch us: MTS 122, SBB 22, Supernova 22, Total TV 22, Yettel Follow us on https://insajder.net and on social networks: Facebook / insider.net Twitter / insider_net Instagram / insider_net
