WA: Burrup rock art not affected by industry, says committee

A new report shows heritage-listed Aboriginal rock art on Western Australia's Burrup
Peninsula isn't being affected by emissions from the area's mining industry.

A committee of scientists and academics established by the previous WA Labor government
says they've been satisfied with the results of four-year studies on the petroglyphs ..

along with testing of rock types bearing the ancient art.

The Burrup Rock Art Management Committee .. set up to monitor air pollution in the
area .. has found no evidence of colour or mineralological change in rock art surfaces.
