SPINETTA MARENGO – Lo stop to the production and use of cC6O4 throughout the chemical hub imposed by the Province of Alessandria until the problems that led to the losses are resolved and the limits set by the authorizations are exceeded “a first step” for those who have been fighting for a long time against the pollution of Fraschetta who, however, have not gives answers to all questions posed by committees and groups of citizens.
For the Stop Solvay Committee warnings”harm reason to those who have been fighting for years for the protection of the territory and healthand” and for what the Committee considers “a truth that we wanted to keep quiet.” With the measures adopted on Friday the institutions would have “assuming that the chemical center is a sieve, incapable of containing the poisons it produces” but the warnings still leave unanswered some of the questions posed by the Stop Solvay Committee, from those on timing of disclosure of data relating to pollution by Arpa to those aimed at Province on the renewal of the Integrated Environmental Authorisation: “Stopped since January 2022 despite Solvay’s AIA having expired in 2020″, the Committee underlines. The warnings to Solvay are therefore seen as “a first step” of a path That However, for the Stop Committee Solvay must continue towards “the closure of the plant and the remediation of the entire polluted area“.
The news of the suspension of the production and use of Cc6o4 in the Chemical Hub has prompted some “reflections” Also Anemos, another group of citizens determined to protect health against pollution in Alessandria and Fraschetta: “First of all We wonder if it is possible that these interventions were taken following the reporting by citizens to ARPA of the presence of foam on the Bormida and not by the control of the bodies responsible for inspecting these releases“, we read in the press release. Ànemos then wonders, and asks, whether the time that passed between May 17, the day of Arpa’s analysis, and June 7, the date on which the Province’s warning was issued, could have “prevented any immediate protective intervention for citizens”. For the citizens group “Health” it must be “always first” and no compromises must be accepted”just to work”: “Because when a company, as happened to Miteni in Veneto and many others in Italy, decides to leave, here we are left, workers and citizens, exposed to pollutants“. Ànemos therefore launched an appeal to the institutions and trade unions to “the work that must be protected” that’s what “guarantees workers and citizens to continue to live healthy lives” and renewed the request to have protocols for general practitioners and adequate biomonitoring for PFAS tests: “Also found in the air”, Anemos recalled.
