	People and Pollutiion of Copsa Mica
		Pollution in Copsa Mica was almost entirely caused by two factories; Carbosin produced carbon fl for dies and tires from 1936 until 1993, and SOMETRA is a non-ferrous metallurgical smelter that is still operational.
		Copsa Mica had the misfortune of being designated as one of these locations, in spite of the fact that the orographical and meteorological positioning of Copsa Mica is not favorable for polluting industries.
		In Copsa Mica, the carbon fl plant Carbosin was shut down in 1993, and the lead and zinc smelting factory, SOMETRA, was opened to international industrial safety experts from the U.N., who upgraded some of the equipment, installed new filters, brought long-needed spare parts, and set up emissions monitors.
