The United Nations’ Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has expressed concern that the tailings dam disaster at the Samarco iron ore project in Brazil has released toxic waste into the River Doce. However, the project’s joint owner BHP Billiton says the tailings are non-toxic and chemically stable, while Samarco has indicated that tests have proven that the waste will not affect human health.
