    Every spring causes toxic environment for the people.

    The burning leaves cause harms to people's health, which is stated by
    the experts of health and environment. But there is no law in Armenia
    supervising and forbidding these actions.

    The Panorama.am reporter talked with the head of the environmental
    department of the municipality of Yerevan Avet Martirosyan. According
    to him the department manages in some way those activities. "In
    the department we have our employees who supervise the situation
    and register the violations. We send those registrations to the
    Environmental Ministry," said Martirosyan.

    He stated that the fees for the violations are kept at the Ministry and
    that they do not have such institution dealing with the fees. Note
    that the department registered only 10 cases this year, but the
    burning leaves are seen nearly at every building.

    According to the experts the burning materials contain 70 types of
    toxic items in them which cause asthma, bronchial diseases.

    >From the Ministry of Environment our reporter was informed that the
    supervision is being held only on the alarms and the violation penalty
    is 50 thousands drams.
