Council Chamber GROUP NEW FACES FOR THE FUTURE
MOTION
Subject: Proposal to the Mayor and City Council of appropriate measures to prevent the risk
asbestos.
Given that:
E 'scientifically proven that the' asbestos is a highly
harmful to health and that asbestos pollution has assumed the contours of
a real problem both health and environmental. To the risks arising from exposure to this substance
are not only exposed the "insiders
work "but the entire population living in areas where asbestos is present.
The peculiarity and the dangerousness of this substance is in fact represented
the volatility of its fibers.
The volatility of the fibers, with regard to asbestos-cement sheets,
begins after about 10 years from the manufacture and enhanced
acid rains, frost, wind.
and permanent harmful effects on health occur because of prolonged exposure to asbestos
, but it is also known that only takes a few
fibrils to contract cancer. In the air we breathe, there may be
many of these particles that end up nesting in our lungs.
goes without saying that the higher the exposure to this substance, the greater
the incidence of lung cancers.
in our municipality, the first to notice or maybe it's better to say to take
seriously consider this alarming situation, Dr. Mark Rigo
doctor practicing throughout our territory.
He is mainly credited with having complained to the then Mayor Flavio
Pacher and the City Council with two letters sent on 25/05/2009
on 10/06/2009 and that the grave situation in which we find asbestos
is entirely neglected, and called for urgent action.
Grigno In City, had been found until now sixteen sites where
this the 'asbestos from the roofs of agricultural products, several barracks, disused factories and
, warehouses and so on.
now therefore invites the Mayor and City Council:
1) to urge the province to ensure the financial and human resources
to make a serious survey of all sites containing asbestos,
evaluating the degradation of the same shell
through the use of specific techniques, such analytical techniques allow, for example,
to determine the quality, quantity of asbestos and
determine the concentrations of airborne fibers in living environments;
2) To launch an information campaign and awareness on
asbestos problem, the risk that it and risks to health and the environment and
on legal provisions banning asbestos same and indicate the
criteria and methodologies for the proper disposal of it;
this will have a wealth of information useful to start as first
an effective plan for rehabilitation and land reclamation;
3) establish a guarantee fund to provide a real incentive or contribution
grant in support of costly remediation or inertisation that
homeowners that has asbestos will have to face;
4) establish a ranking for the allocation of contributions according to an index
logical priority and severity of the phenomenon found.
So the main objective is not only a map, and inform but also to the contributions
to remove as soon as possible
what is considered one of the worst enemy for our health.
Thanking you in advance for your attention and the feeling that you want to take
on this distressing problem waiting for a positive response we send
regards.
