Published Monograph The Jadar Project: Lithium-Boron Catastrophe
The Jadar Project is technically and ecologically uncertain and economically unviable, with risks to human health and natural resources.
The monograph The Jadar Project: Lithium-Boron Catastrophe is the result of the work of leading experts from multiple scientific fields. The authors have analyzed the chemical, technological, and toxicological aspects of the project; hydrological and meteorological consequences; legal and economic implications; and impacts on biodiversity and human health.
The publication provides the public with a comprehensive understanding of the Jadar Project, offering a solid basis for evaluating whether ecological mining in the Jadar region can be safe and sustainable. Its goal is to present the complexity and scope of the Jadar Project, planned by Rio Tinto at the mentioned site. Drawing on both domestic and international sources, the monograph examines chemical, technological, biological, toxicological, hydrological, meteorological, legal, economic, and social aspects of the project, as well as potential consequences for the environment, human health, and Serbia’s economy.
The analysis indicates that the Jadar Project is one of the most controversial mining-industrial ventures in Serbia’s modern history: technically and ecologically uncertain, economically unviable, socially and legally problematic, with unpredictable risks to human health and natural resources.
