ALEXANDRIA – Harp is processing the data from the analyzes carried out in recent days for the anomalous presence of C6o4 and the foams detected in the Bormida river. The results are not there yet but they will be ready soon and will allow us to also understand, in the case of anomalous C6o4 values in the industrial area, whether the stop at reactor E, implemented by Syensqo, is a sufficient measure. Same situation also on the foams identified on Saturday in the Bormida river, as explained to Radio Gold by the general director of Arpa, According to Barbero, in fact, it cannot be supported at the moment “an absence of anomalies on the discharges involved“, as the company communicated in a note. Furthermore, the publication of data on air control units. “The samples analyzed in the period September 2023 – January 2024 – we read in the Arpa document – they highlighted the presence of DC6OR4 and ADV-N2, with values always higher on average at the via Genova station compared to those on Bolla street“. “These data – explained Barbero – they note how in the points near the plant we find the compounds in greater quantities than the limits of quantification, in a constant and continuous way. THE data also involves Montecastello and this reveals the presence of these compounds not only in the area near the plant, also conditioned by weather conditions“.
The monitoring of Pfas in the air also led to the identification of C6o4 in the samples from the Volta control unit, thus demonstrating the need to continue to investigate this scenario in depth. “Scientific literature has very little experience with air and we are collecting data that will need to be verified on the health impact front – added Barbero. We are collecting information to understand the quantities and areas involved and then understand the possible consequences in health terms. This will be the task of the Environment and Health table which will evaluate the effects of this data.” Below is the full interview:
