MANILA - The Department of Health clarified Tuesday that the process of crushing dolomite was harmful and not the product itself.
The agency had earlier warned that crushed dolomite may cause respiratory issues as the environment department began dumping artificial white sand in Manila Bay.
"Sinisiguro naman po ng DENR na ito po ay will not harm the environment nor the population. Hindi naman po yan bibigyan ng clearance ng DENR kung ito ay makakasama sa kalusugan ng ating mga kababayan."
