Scottish Salmon Watch has been alerted to the use of toxic chemicals by Kames in Loch Tralaig – here's video footage shot on 5 November 2019 showing the use of the carcinogenic chemical Formalin (Formaldehyde).
Last year Scottish Salmon Watch filmed empty vats of Formaldehyde piled up outside Kames near Kilmelford.
Scottish salmon farming is so toxic that some of the workers at Kames in Loch Tralaig wear gas masks.
Here's a close up of the Formalin 40 being used by Kames in Loch Tralaig.
The blue container of Formalin (Formaldehyde solution) looks similar to those sold online for £30.
Here's site details for the Kames salmon farm in Loch Tralaig published online by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
The chemicals used on salmon farms are so toxic that shellfish are collateral damage too.
In July 2019, Scottish Salmon Watch exposed the use of carcinogenic Formaldehyde at Mowi's salmon farm in Loch Arkaig.
Data obtained from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) via Freedom of Information revealed that Marine Harvest (re-named Mowi on 1 January 2019) used 8,081,250 grams (8,081 kg) of Formaldehyde in 2017 and 2018 in Loch Arkaig.
The Sunday Times reported (21 July 2019):
