Incinerators and fetal malformations: French study confirms correlation
“Maternal residence near municipal waste incinerators and the risk of urinary tract birth defects” è uno studio, l’ennesimo, condotto nella regione del Sud Est della Francia, Paese che nel 2000 ha incenerito 11 milioni di tonnellate di rifiuti, il 26% della produzione.
E’ stato condotto da una equipe Università di Lione, di Rennes e dal Registro delle Malformazioni del Rhone-Alpes, la zona dove sono emersi picchi di malformazioni nei nuovi nati, che non trovano giustificazione.
Si tratta di 304 neonati che hanno evidenziato difetti all’apparto genitale. In particolare problemi renali e di uropatia ostruttiva.
Sylvaine Cordier, Anne Lehebel, Emmanuelle Amar, Lucie Anzivino-Viricel, Martine Hours, Christine Monfort, Cecile Chevrier, Mireille Chiron, Elisabeth Robert-Gnansia, women scientists who explored with passion and attention to the problem, arriving at conclusions as predictable concern.
"waste incinerators" says the treaty "shall issue a mixture of persistent chemicals with a high potential toxic to the embryo, including heavy metals and dioxins / furans in the atmosphere."
We are talking to the incinerators, those who are less ill of a barbecue, to hear about our local scientists and environmental assessor of the town of Parma.
"We found an association between living near an incinerator and risk of urinary tract defects of the new born "is the pithy conclusion of the study that emphasizes the consumption of local products modify the disease risk for bioaccumulation for example, in cow's milk and dairy products (cheese).
A clear warning not to consume products that are grown in close proximity to these facilities.
few years then look at the salads made in Ugozzolo, except that of his grandfather Allodi, which still keeps us unaware of the location of his new residence in the shadow of the chimney.
incinerators are the most responsible of the emission of dioxins in the environment.
In France the first issue is 52% complete, with 202 grams of toxic doses equivalent (I-TEQ) per year. Besides these plants emit dioxins a series of extremely hazardous compounds: polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals such as cadmium, arsenic, chromium, mercury, particulates flying as PM10, sulfur oxides, in short, the usual recipe indigestible.
The area surveyed has 21 active waste incinerators, while 70 plants since 1988 haoo operated for at least a year in the region.
The study was concentrated in a radius of 10 km from the stack emission, given the area more dangerous and prone to relapse.
The study did not underestimate the other emissive sources that were calculated in each case.
emission models have been conducted scientifically according to the declarations of the operators, then on the average of the plant.
