Security issues are high on the country’s agenda right now, with the Summer Games just around the corner. It has toughened up on the sale of dangerous chemicals during the Games, and demands that those who purchase such goods must do so under their real names.
Perchloric acid, nitric acid and nitrate, fuel reductant and metal
oxide are among others that have made it onto the dangerous chemicals
list. Effective until September 30, companies purchasing these must
provide business licences and the identity cards of the purchasers.
And likewise, firms selling the chemicals must be in possession of
permits and will be given the fun task of filing all information about
the purchasers, such as address, transaction date, names of the
chemicals purchased, quantities and the purpose of the purchase, state
media reports.
