AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoEnvironmental Health: Strontium-90 measured in soil at a Gospić site rose nearly elevenfold from 2023 to 2025. Officials say there is no evidence linking the increase to nearby illegal waste or showing that residents’ health is at risk. Vaccine Safety: Croatia has paused distribution and use of a Bulgarian-made BCG vaccine after four reports of bone inflammation in children. Two reports listed doses ten times the prescribed amount; investigators have not established a direct link to the vaccine. Bosnia and Herzegovina also suspended use as a precaution. Zagreb Air Quality: Residents reported a strong odour across several neighbourhoods as monitoring stations recorded elevated fine particles. The source remains unknown; experts say weather and the start of the heating season may contribute. Chemical Exposure: A small study found “forever chemicals” in blood samples from all 10 Croatian participants, raising concerns about exposure but offering a limited snapshot.
