(a) It is not true that NEMA has not taken any action against M/s Leather Industries of Kenya Limited in relation to air pollution. NEMA inspected the factory and agreed on the road map with the factory management to bring the factory into compliance in terms of controlling the foul smell emanating from its waste water treatment plant by ensuring that the management undertakes the following: 1. increases the proportion of hydrogen peroxide into the soaking lining treatment tanks; this chemical reacts with sulphide to eliminate the irritating hydrogen sulphide gas; 2. run the tractors to the soaking lining tanks ...

On the wider and sustainable effort to address similar concerns within the country, NEMA has formulated the draft Environment Management and Co- ordination Air Quality Regulations, 2011. These regulations stipulate emissions limit on hydrogen sulphide, HS, Sulphur Octoxide, SO, volatile organic carbons, ammonia and particulate matter, which are major pollutants from the tanning process.
