Chat GPT:
My searches did not uncover any studies or reports directly associating Lifosa’s operations with harmful effects on wildlife or bird populations—such as contamination, habitat degradation, or mortality.

Overall, Lifosa appears to be proactive in mitigating environmental impacts — employing modern technologies, significant investments, and renewable energy solutions to minimise pollution and resource use. However, the recent regulatory attention regarding odour emissions underscores that environmental oversight remains active and that Lifosa may need to enhance its air quality controls.

Environmental Protections and Progress
ISO-certified environmental management
Since 2003, Lifosa has maintained an environmental management system aligned with the ISO 14001 standard
Wikipedia, lifosa.com

Heavy investment in environmental upgrades
Lifosa annually commits roughly 30% of its investment budget to eco‑friendly projects, technology upgrades, and improved resource efficiency
lifosa.com, Wikipedia

Water and wastewater management
The plant does not discharge industrial waste directly into the environment. Instead, wastewater is collected in ponds, treated, recycled, and reused. Pollutant concentrations in discharge are often several to dozens of times lower than legal limits
lifosa.com
For perspective, phosphorus levels in soft drinks can be 100 times higher than in Lifosa’s wastewater
lifosa.com

Air emissions reductions
Over the past two decades, Lifosa has halved its atmospheric emissions and consistently operates well below national regulatory limits
lifosa.com

Sulphur dioxide improvements
In 2014, the sulphuric acid plant was upgraded, raising SO₂ conversion efficiency from 99.7% to 99.9%, thereby reducing harmful emissions
chemxplore.com, Oreanda News

Energy recovery and renewable energy
Since 2007, Lifosa has recovered heat from sulphuric acid production to generate electricity and heat — supplying up to 250 million kWh of electricity and substantial heat to the nearby city of Kėdainiai
lifosa.com, Wikipedia

In 2021, a 1 MW solar power plant began operations, producing ~18 GWh of electricity annually — about 6% of the plant’s needs
lifosa.com

Energy efficiency plans
In 2022, Lifosa outlined a €150 million investment plan (through 2026) focused on modernizing the sulphuric and phosphoric acid plants to further enhance energy efficiency and cut environmental impact
lifosa.com

Monitoring and Regulatory Scrutiny
Lifosa actively monitors air emissions, wastewater, river water quality (Obelis & Nevėžis rivers), and groundwater via its own environmental monitoring department and lab
lifosa.com

In early 2025, the National Public Health Centre (NPHC) detected repeated odor emission violations, prompting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to initiate a review of Lifosa’s pollution permit. The EPA may require quarterly odor testing to comply with IPPC regulations — continued breaches could even lead to a suspension of the operating permit

"Jonava was one of the first municipalities to approve a special plan for the development of renewable energy sources back in 2013, which allowed for the development of solar and wind energy projects in the Jonava region.

“The development of solar and especially wind farms in Jonava District has accelerated in recent years. Today, large wind farms are springing up in Žeimiai municipality. It is welcome that wind farm developers entering the Žeimiai municipality are not only contributing taxes to the district budget, but also volunteering to directly support and financially contribute to various local community initiatives and projects in the municipality,” says Mr Sinkevičius."
