Oxy's 'Humidifier Sterilizer Victim Support' Appears at 5 Billion, Left for 10 Years

It has been found that 5 billion won that Oxy has offered to support victims of humidifier disinfectants has been neglected for more than a decade.

According to the data received by Kang Deuk-gu of the Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee,
In March 2014,
Oxy signed an agreement with the Ministry of Environment and the Environmental Conservation Agency under the Ministry of Environment and contributed 5 billion won in the name of 'support for people with interstitial lung disease of unknown cause and their families'.

However, the amount executed was only 27 million won for the first secretariat operation expenses, and the balance increased to 5.82 billion won as interest was added to the money left unattended.

At the time, the agreement stated that it had nothing to do with legal matters or legal responsibility, but the victims refused to be paid because they believed that if they received funding, it could appear that an "agreement" had been reached.

Lawmaker Kang said that the fund has not even been formed so far, making it impossible to use the fund, and that the Ministry of Environment should consider ways to utilize it.
