meadows of brescia polluted by the pcb

The citizens: "We want to know if the vegetable gardens that we cultivate are contaminated. After two years we claim clearness»
The point is not even the cartel that sanctions the prohibition, not even tantomeno the cut of the grass. Everything rotates around the sanitary question. And, to follow, of inquiry. E, a seguire, d’indagine.
In the centre of the debate, the quarters of Holy Pole and Buffalora or, better, the field that crosses the roads Holy Pole, Merisi and Florentine, to few metres with the factory of the Alpha It Acierates. In the summer 2008 in fact, the Municipality one was a visa forced to append in the area the debated cartel that was sanctioning the «Prohibition of pasture», in whom also there are read: "It is severely forbidden sfalciare, to take away, to use or to disperse the unsold grass in the ground». Up to last Monday, when the grass is cut. And it disappears at the field. A question, this one, on which the Municipality «will do clearness in next days». Fino allo scorso lunedì, quando l’erba viene tagliata. E scompare dal campo. Una questione, questa, sulla quale il Comune «farà chiarezza nei prossimi giorni».
The event has begun nevertheless with the reliefs of Harp and Asl: the first ones on the soil, where «no anomaly has been found»; the second ones on the grass, where it is instead of been found the Pcb presence. At a distance of two years, the Municipality has asked to the Asl of repeating the inquiries to confirm (or to deny) the well-known contamination. i secondi sull’erba, dove è invece stata riscontrata la presenza di Pcb. A distanza di due anni, il Comune ha chiesto all’Asl di ripetere le indagini per confermare (o smentire) la nota contaminazione.
But the citizens are not satisfied. Why if it is truth that the prohibition has been appended for a long time now, is it as truth that «nobody if it it is never more worried. In spite of the meetings, the meetings, the debates. Without not even to give concrete answers to the one who in these quarters lives and, in many cases, cultivates the really little orticello». Already. The vegetable gardens. If the Pcb has been traced in the area of road Merisi, according to which criteria – and when – has the presence been excluded from it in the surrounding fields? Can the situation be – and it will be – improved or what has been has been? How is it possible that the ground is healthy and the polluted grass? There does not neglect to such a purpose the one who, after having done any widening, hypothesises:« The grass has absorbed the Pcb and the diossina that we breathe quotidianamente in the polluted air, therefore the soil is healthy». The questions do not finish here. Where from does that Pcb come, the air? Above all: everything does this have incidence on the health of the citizens? Nonostante le assemblee, gli incontri, i dibattiti. Senza neppure dare risposte concrete a chi in questi quartieri abita e, in molti casi, coltiva il proprio piccolo orticello». Già. Gli orti. Se il Pcb è stato rintracciato nell’area di via Merisi, secondo quali criteri – e quando – ne è stata esclusa la presenza nei campi circostanti? La situazione può essere – e sarà – risanata oppure quel che è stato è stato? Come è possibile che il terreno sia sano e l’erba inquinata? A tal proposito non manca chi, dopo aver fatto qualche approfondimento, ipotizza: «L’erba ha assorbito il Pcb e la diossina che noi respiriamo quotidianamente nell’aria inquinata, per questo il suolo è sano». Le domande non finiscono qui. Da dove proviene quel Pcb, dall’aria? Soprattutto: tutto questo ha incidenza sulla salute dei cittadini?
And here that tied to the health is returned to the origin knot: have the vegetable gardens that in many people each day they cultivate, attached products, been never analysed? It will be only the Asl – in the moment in whom he will decide to face the case under the sanitary outline – to be able to supply the just answers. Meanwhile, to Holy Pole, it keeps on being waited. Sarà solo l’Asl – nel momento in cui deciderà di affrontare il caso sotto il profilo sanitario – a poter fornire le risposte giuste. Intanto, a San Polo, si continua ad aspettare.
