I repeat: NO! The Voice of the Rebel In full solidarity with the many volunteer and institutional mobilizations have arisen in recent months, Cremona Zero Movement wishes to reiterate its firm and conscious NO to the construction of the landfill of asbestos Canton Chapel.
The reasons for this hostility are different and we all deserve to be listed on time.
First, we intend to focus on the unsuitability of the site to accommodate the designated storage facility : it will in fact arise at a distance of only a few hundred meters from existing MSW landfill Madama Court, which violates a specific location and unanimous will of the Provincial Council, expressed in the Waste Plan. From this point of view, the subsequent amendment by the Regional Waste Plan (with which the region has eliminated the rule establishing a minimum safety distance of 5 km from the landfill) shows not only the contempt of the Pirelli Tower in respect local autonomy, but also the degree of subservience of the regional to private interests (because of course there is a private interest, and clearly visible, behind all this). In fact, none of the gentlemen in the Region seems to take into account in any way that would lead to the disqualification for the Cremona area near the two sites of this quality and size.
Second, soils have elected to host the dump aquifers outcropping : this is not insignificant especially when you consider what health risks would a dispersal of asbestos fibers into the aquifer . To those who question the danger of leakage into the groundwater, with the excuse that asbestos would be dangerous only in volatile form, we reply that in fact the harmfulness of its ingestion is still a very controversial issue and diabattuta (there are no studies to date that support their carcinogenicity, such as that conducted by the Cancer Registry of Norway and submitted September 28, 2004). Beyond this, it is well established as the use of water contaminated by asbestos may be due to the increased concentration of fibers in .
Another important element to consider is the size of the site in question, intended to store a quantity of asbestos far superior to the waste disposal needs of the province of Cremona. Given that most of these special waste coming from other provinces of Milan and Lombardy, we can not really understand why the sole province of Cremona, against every principle of fairness and responsibility, should take responsibility for its disposal.
If you do not think the worst sin, it seems that the only fault of our territory is to be charged to their low demographic weight, and then election.
However, what is more embittered to see how, once again, the primacy of private ends to establish itself at the expense of the public good , guiding light that should guide the decision and action instead of our administrative leaders. At this heinous abuse
, committed to help the entrepreneur businessman in office, Zero Movement will oppose with all his strength, ensuring its solidarity and its even modest support to all administrators and citizens to mobilize in defense of the territory.
