Stephen Constance, \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 de 61 de ani, fost angajat al fabricii Monsanto din Newport \u00een anii \u201990, a povestit c\u0103 a lucrat timp de trei ani la izolarea unor de\u0219euri toxice deja \u00eengropate. Potrivit acestuia, echipamentele de protec\u021bie erau precare, iar muncitorii nu ar fi fost informa\u021bi complet asupra substan\u021belor la care erau expu\u0219i, relateaz\u0103 BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Constance trebuia s\u0103 sape un \u0219an\u021b de aproximativ \u0219ase metri ad\u00e2ncime \u00een jurul depozitului, ulterior izolat cu membrane din plastic \u0219i argil\u0103 lichid\u0103. Fostul angajat crede c\u0103 solu\u021bia putea \u00eempiedica dispersarea contaminan\u021bilor \u00een aer, dar se \u00eendoie\u0219te c\u0103 era suficient\u0103 pentru a evita infiltrarea lor \u00een sol, \u00een condi\u021biile nivelului ridicat al apei subterane.<\/p>\n

El se afl\u0103 \u00een remisie dup\u0103 un limfom folicular, dar a subliniat c\u0103 nu sus\u021bine existen\u021ba unei leg\u0103turi \u00eentre boal\u0103 \u0219i activitatea sa profesional\u0103.<\/p>\n

PCB, substan\u021be interzise de zeci de ani<\/h2>\n

\u00cen centrul investiga\u021biei se afl\u0103 bifenilii policlorura\u021bi, cunoscu\u021bi drept PCB, substan\u021be utilizate pe scar\u0103 larg\u0103 \u00een secolul trecut \u0219i ulterior interzise. \u00cen Marea Britanie, utilizarea lor a fost interzis\u0103 \u00een anii \u201970, iar ulterior restric\u021biile au fost adoptate de 151 de \u021b\u0103ri.<\/p>\n

Documentarul prezint\u0103 \u0219i un memorandum Monsanto din 1972 care ar indica faptul c\u0103 societatea cuno\u0219tea pericolele PCB pentru s\u0103n\u0103tatea uman\u0103. \u00cen aceea\u0219i perioad\u0103, compania \u0219i-a intensificat activitatea la fabrica din Newport, potrivit investiga\u021biei.<\/p>\n

David Megson, specialist \u00een chimie \u0219i criminalistic\u0103 de mediu la Manchester Metropolitan University, sus\u021bine c\u0103 datele ob\u021binute indic\u0103 scurgeri de contaminan\u021bi \u0219i amestecuri de mai multe substan\u021be chimice \u00een siturile analizate. PCB sunt considerate substan\u021be suspectate de efecte cancerigene.<\/p>\n

Un sit con\u021bine peste 93.000 de tone de n\u0103mol acid<\/h2>\n

Unul dintre cele mai controversate cazuri este o lagun\u0103 cu reziduuri acide din apropierea localit\u0103\u021bii Llwyneinion. Un raport din 2006 arat\u0103 c\u0103 situl era cunoscut drept contaminat \u00eenc\u0103 din 1979.<\/p>\n

Documentele men\u021bioneaz\u0103 depozitarea a aproximativ 93.100 de tone de n\u0103mol acid provenit de la Burmah Castrol, precum \u0219i butoaie cu substan\u021be necunoscute, despre care exista suspiciunea c\u0103 proveneau de la Monsanto. \u00cen decurs de 27 de ani au fost realizate 18 investiga\u021bii, dou\u0103 propuneri de remediere \u0219i cinci teste de tratare, \u00eens\u0103 situl exista \u00een continuare \u00een 2026.<\/p>\n

Autorit\u0103\u021bile galeze sus\u021bin \u00eens\u0103 c\u0103 dovezile disponibile \u00een prezent nu indic\u0103 o cre\u0219tere a riscului de cancer sau de alte boli provocat\u0103 de poluarea istoric\u0103 \u00een zonele respective. Testele efectuate anterior au concluzionat, de asemenea, c\u0103 laguna nu \u00eendeplinea defini\u021bia legal\u0103 a unui teren contaminat.<\/p>\n

Guvernul galez recunoa\u0219te amploarea problemei: un inventar realizat \u00een 2015 identificase peste 9.000 de situri poten\u021biale care necesitau investiga\u021bii suplimentare. Autorit\u0103\u021bile inten\u021bioneaz\u0103 acum s\u0103 elaboreze o strategie pentru \u00eentreaga \u021aar\u0103 a Galilor privind refacerea progresiv\u0103 a terenurilor postindustriale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
