The Minister of Emergency of Kazakhstan Victor Hrapunov said today in the interview to journalists after the selector government session.

During the selector meeting V. Hrapunov provided the results of the maximum concentration limit that differed from the Russian experts'. "260 tests of ground, flora and water have been selected. The analysis of water has shown no excess of maximum concentration limit of heptyl, analyses of ground have shown that maximum concentration limit exceeds from 1100 up to 5200 times in the spots where the elements of the third stage and the booster block had fallen down," the Minister said, having added that "this is the residual phenomena." The difference in figures the Emergency Minister explained by the fact that the Russian experts analyze the tests and gives conclusions on the spot and Kazakhstan transport its tests to Almaty. "As a result, the difference on excess of maximum concentration limit of heptyl is as follows: by 150 times - by our data, and by 5200 - by Russian.
