The Department of Environment of the Basque Government has begun to conduct the first tests of the destruction center of 5,000 tons of lindane found in the former Dow Chemical factory in Barakaldo. The lindane treatment center is conducting hydraulic and electrical testing of equipment, vacuum testing and instrumentation control, once the operation is finished.

The plan takes a one-year delay, Ihobe, S.A. The public environmental management society was planning to launch the centre by January 1998. The Department of Environment has promised that by 2000 the plan will be fulfilled and that the whole lindane will be destroyed.
