sixth birthday for the ALA- Despite the many "closure" will continue the fight for public health
SIXTH BIRTHDAY FOR ALA
On March 15, the anniversary of the association to fight asbestos
On March 15, marks an important date for the Association of ALA fight asbestos ONLUS Senigallia: the sixth year anniversary of the foundation.
born from a suggestion by Dr. Massimo Marcellini (my personal medical oncology) that after my first intervention of asbestos cancers advised to set up an association for socially and who cared the asbestos problem.
fact March 15, 2004 I officially set up this Association called ALA (Association of Anti-asbestos) in order to protect public health, remediation, implementing laws to gain recognition or invalid pension INAIL and information about the problem, unfortunately the most unknown.
But this lack of information, the worst thing that emerges after the Marche Region has legislated a decree in 1997 which gave way to the towns of the Marche Region of carrying out a census and an asbestos removal. Considering
that in the town of Senigallia this was an establishment "Sacelit" that produced asbestos-cement materials, our city has been the most severely affected by pollution with the first use of the roofs of such material and was used in quan'taltro Construction for the construction of buildings or warehouses in general, and later with the famous rehabilitation of two buildings and Italcementi Sacelit performed in the open.
tell the whole story would take too long and tortuous, but think that in March 2010 are still ongoing land reclamation projects relating to groundwater Sacelit, leaves room for some doubt.
I've been the president for all these years I can boast of having contributed in my small way to ensure that the Health Office (Organization responsible for the remediation of asbestos) i ran a lot of surveys and reports produced positive results then their implication for reclamation.
I recently reported a dangerous situation of a building with asbestos-cement sheets and outdated routes adjacent to a nursery school places in the Valley of Senigallia. In this regard until after my report, the Office of Prevention, Department of Hygiene and Public Health Service in the person of Dr. manager. Fiorenzuola I replied with a letter (dated 04.03.2010 and the pervenutami 10 cm) in which a memorandum of prot. No. 1717 of 26.01.2010 was required to the Service Environment the adoption of the City of Senigallia, to owners of manufactured goods with the presence of MCA, with an ordinance which requires the implementation of appropriate remediation in DM 06/09/1994.
of it I could mention many such interventions, and consequently many retrofitted. But then I wonder what they do FIGHTERS ENVIRONMENTAL of the Municipality of Senigallia and inspectors of the Office of Hygiene in Prevention of Senigallia?
Why must always wait my right protests?
But the most painful are the dead - only during the first 70 days of 2010 - were 7, and all because of asbestos ingested by former employees of Sacelit. I would also like
add the fact that the epidemiological investigation dall'ASUR is stuck at 1990 with 105 deaths. During these 20 years as succesivi became ill and many died?
Prevention is the best solution not only to former employees, but personally we would include the residents adjacent to the reclamation of Sacelit carried out in the open and why not also for the people who do not feel safe to stay in good health, because the ingested asbestos fiber can incubate in the lungs and not only up to 40 years and then suddenly in espodere GUARDIAN that leads you to certain death.
Finally I must stress that our association is a pebble that probably bothers both the City Council, and health agencies that rather than gratified, rewarded me with a few euro and with a sense of discomfort.
But I long as I live 'I'll do anything to those who will address the association ALA so critical situations are resolved. And of course - being VOLUNTEER - I will always do everything for free.
