contamination in the river Sacco
Dossier ASL is the valley of tumors
Colleferro and Valle del Sacco, where each factory is qualified in its production and the kind of death that leaves the its workers and its inhabitants, including children, gruesome wound alpha / beta / gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins and heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead, "pleura and bladder cancer for workers in chemical plant, testicular cancer and for those involved in the pleura railway carriages. "
And yet "significant deterioration in overall mortality and for all cancers, excess mortality from ischemic heart disease (men), diabetes and liver cancer (women) deaths from respiratory causes and cancer of the pleura. A fatality rate above the regional average of Lazio, one of the causes of cancer death, includes an excess of cardiovascular disease, with a significant increase in hospitalizations for diseases of the nervous system peripheral, and an increase in diseases of women such as menstrual disorders, infertility and increased diagnosis of disorders in the female genital organs.
conclusions shocking and that they read in black and white freeze the blood in the veins to the authoritativeness of the source: the epidemiological report on the health of the population of Valle del Sacco made by the ASL RME, RMG, and by ASL Frosinone 'National Institute of Health and, since September, was kept confidential. "The area of \u200b\u200bthree municipalities Colleferro, Signs and Gavignano as a whole presents a picture of mortality and morbidity worse than the rest of Lazio," says the report text.
"It proved to be a contamination human nature of chronic beta-hexachlorocyclohexane, persistent organic matter derived from industrial toxic waste. The picture of mortality and morbidity of the residents in the Colleferro, compared to areas of nearby communities, shows higher values \u200b\u200bfor respiratory diseases in the possible relationship with chronic environmental contamination. We confirm an excess of tumors of the pleura for the gradual exposure to asbestos. For those who live along the river include the presence of certain diseases (cancer of the liver and diabetes) in relation to possible chemical contamination. The chemical and rail workers have an increased incidence of certain cancers (bladder cancer and pleura) in estimated relationship with the work performed. " For children, the danger is bronchial asthma, with rates above the national average of hospital admissions in children.
