A.(2016, November 17). World Cup stadium accused of breaching air quality rules. Retrieved November 18, 2016, from https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/dcunited/world-cup-stadium-accused-of-breaching-air-quality-rules/2016/11/17/3f78a722-ace4-11e6-8f19-21a1c65d2043_story.html/
The next World Cup will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia and they have begun construction of the 69,000 seat arena to be used in 2018. However this has been putting out formaldehyde and ammonia above the city’s permitted levels. The company responsible for the arena’s construction did not dispute but instead blamed the previous company.
I don’t get sports honestly it is a huge waste of money, time, and resources. On top of this the company in charge does not take responsibility for something that is clearly their doing. This is something that always has made me extremely irritated is the lack of integrity that people have these days. If it hurts the bottom line than we can’t do even if it hurts others.
Wow. While this sort of stuff is really not OK, people seem to let it slide simply because it may be a sport or activity they enjoy. These huge corporations and costly projects have too many mistakes involving the breaking of rules…When will there be more punishments for “accidents” like these?
It seems that in this case, no one is really taking responsibility for the air quality issues. When this happens, I feel as if the issue(s) go overlooked or are forgotten. Do you think that these problems are going to be addressed, or simply overlooked as it never happened?
