Un inquietante caso di malformazione genetica
L' episodio, certamente non isolato, dell’agnellino nato malforme e successivamente deceduto in una azienda zootecnica, sita nei pressi della discarica di Roccasecca, non deve essere sottovalutato e frettolosamente rinchiuso nell’archivio del fatalismo. Si dirà con rassegnazione: "These things happen," as if to expel from the mind a tragic reality that disturbs our life, which we ran with more confidence.
The sad event, however, should be subject to a depth analysis of veterinary and territorial survey to understand the causes for it. And 'Please note that grazing animals can also ingest contaminated substances. Precisely for this reason, the sheep are considered " sentinel animals " soil pollution. The health legislation, in fact, considering that a sheep when grazing grass, ingests a certain amount of land.
In the area where the anomalous event occurred insist, as you know, waste disposal plants, whose activity is causing more than a decade not a few problems in terms Plumbing health to people and to the ecological environment.
to this alarming situation, mainly due to noxious fumes and fell on the land of poisons such as sulfur compounds issued by the landfill and the installation of Cerreto Colfelice , joins the presence of high concentrations of nitrogen oxides , as evidenced by a recent study of " regional plan to restructure the air quality "relative to the territories Roccasecca Pontecorvo.
the light of the above and on the basis of what has happened in the Valle del Sacco, which was recorded in people and animals in the presence of toxic substances, including hazardous " beta-hexachlorocyclohexane " (known carcinogen), it is now urgent to start in the district Roccasecca-San Giovanni Pontecorvo-Assignment-Colfelice a thorough environmental impact study to answer this question: what effects produced and will produce the plant and landfill of Colfelice territory on the life and health, on soil, water sources, rivers and atmosphere?
And again, after several cases of death due to cancer registered among the population of the district, it is reasonable to include among the causes of the onset of serious illnesses and birth defects also chemical and toxic substances in a heavily polluted environment?
To obtain answers to these disturbing questions, the Committee Citizens of San Cataldo "St. John's office, through a petition has already taken a first step by requesting the government of neighboring towns and facilities Roccasecca Colfelice and the Province, to install suitable instruments ( electronic noses - control olfactometric ) in order to detect substances and odor nuisance other pollutants responsible dell'insalubrità dell’aria.
