“Most of the complaints could be
associated with secondary infertility, because victims have, in the
past, given birth to children before they suddenly stopped.
There was widespread belief that smoke and poisonous gases emitted from
the refinery have reproductive health effect on people living in the
area, but no medical report has confirmed the allegation due to
inability of villagers to seek comprehensive medical tests, perhaps
owing to lack of awareness and poverty.”
