Health Department not involved in 'black dust' studies
No one from the Directorate of Environmental Health was engaged to assess the impact on the people’s health of the black dust found in Fgura, Health Minister Joseph Cassar has said in Parliament.
However there was full collaboration with other entities which kept the directorate abreast of developments, the minister said when replying to a parliamentary question.

Health related studies here would include any significant occurrences in breathing anomalies, skin and eye irritations and other physiological effects of dust on the human body and its functions. If there is indeed a correlation which involves an increase in incidences over the last few years within the Fgura area, then this should rise the flag. I presume poliklinik and hospital data would have exposed this, by now.

And apparently not doing a very good job either.
Along with the Turin shroud, UFOs and the lochness monster the black dust of Fgura is becomingone of the great mysteries of this century
