What Is So Bad About Hydroquinone?

Left on Ecology and Liberty Phoenix and waste incinerator

With regard to recent statements by associations, policy makers and institutional story on the age of the incinerator, "Phoenix", Left Ecology Freedom of the Provincial Federation of Power, would point out his absolute opposition Technology the incinerator and the firm conviction that a province of just under 385,000 inhabitants (Istat to 01/01/2010) need not have two incinerators (in San Nicola di Melfi and Titus) as well as the Provincial Waste Plan provides. The data offered by the EUROPEAN COMMISSION (Institute for the Protection and Environmental Research - Solid Waste Report, edition 2009) show that in Basilicata produces a quantity of municipal waste per capita lower than the national average and the entire South, and how this data is consolidated over time.
This confirms our opinion that regardless of changes in consumption and commodity-related changes of rejection, is quite controversial plan to achieve, in a future not yet well defined, a collection of 60% and still allocate 40% of municipal waste incineration facilities in two provinces, one of which, that of Titus, still far from its initial function. Areas like the most virtuous
Trentino Alto Adige, however, with a collection equal to 56.8% (as of 2008) about 15% for incineration of municipal waste in one plant, where there is also a slight and downward trend in both absolute terms and as percentages of the assets transferred. Add to this, as in Trentino, for example, have attempted reduction policies ahead of the refusal which gave good results, both that an increase of population has not increased in proportion to the amount of waste produced.
why we think that the whole programming provincial waste should be revisited. We are aware however, the political responsibility that you are called in a team of government that we are an integral part of this, although the Provincial Waste Plan is not the best of possible worlds, let alone this is the plan that would propose SEL and wanted to support, we think it a priority to complete it, especially where waste collection and recycling. We believe that when you reach percentages in line with what the law requires (at least 65% to 31/12/2012, Art. 205, Leg. Ss.ii.mm. 152/2006) the entire plant for the incineration will be too large if not useless.
not forget also that "Phoenix" is also special waste, industrial waste and that other types of waste in an area that sees, however, a downward trend of manufacturing activity (-13% in 10 years of business manufacturing active, data-Infocamere Movimprese) and a relative stagnation of the labor market. Even on the basis of these data, the need for this system seems to be no, if we exclude the one area where it stands a strong manufacturing activity, namely San Nicola di Melfi, che potrebbe avere un certo interesse a questa impiantistica. In tutti i casi, in rapporto agli accordi intercorsi tra le istituzioni ed il Gruppo FIAT proprietario dell'impianto negli anni Novanta, nel tempo la quantità di rifiuti destinati all'incenerimento da parte di FIAT sarebbe dovuta diminuire. Cosa ne sia stato di questo accordo nel passaggio di proprietà da FIAT ad EDF non è ancora chiaro, così come i cittadini non sanno con chiarezza se l'impianto tratta solo rifiuti speciali regionali o meno.
A questo si aggiunga come l'unico impianto di incenerimento della Provincia è una presenza inquietante per le popolazioni poiché la recente vicenda dell'inquinamento delle falde acquifere ha mostrato l'inesistenza control point and able to preserve the health of citizens and the integrity dell'ambiante, at least until quite recently. The story, as noted, has shown that for a long time, EDF has acted undisturbed plant and today the pollution of the water is not returned, but tends only to a slight improvement. Concerns about the health of the population are also more than well-known but less known are the possible responses or put in epidemiological research to unravel these questions. So far we only know that there are many national and international studies that show a fairly close correlation between the presence of incinerators and the onset of some serious diseases, as well as in this Region are recorded in increments of cancer. Until such time will not be given answers to these questions will be normal the distrust of citizens towards the institutions that seem deaf to their concerns. The plant
"Phoenix" has also recently received a permit that, while states such as Spot the Councillor, in compliance, it has the flavor of yield compared to a giant, a corporation, so today, if seriously put under discussion would lead us to the emergency, because until now little has been done to liberate himself from this technology, dangerous and inconvenient, which recovers energy and eliminates waste dumps. How much energy it uses the system Phoenix to work? How much useful energy producing and dispatching? How many tons of waste is and how many tons of waste / waste (including sludge, dust and cables) produces downstream of the cycle of incineration and are inert, treat and cure with caution?
For our part we are convinced of the dangers of incineration, and the futility of these facilities. For this you need to seriously hand to a different waste management, urban and industrial management in a nutshell what we think is even in the Provincial Plan. That is our hope in the Province of Potenza is what you can arrive early to an extensive collection, which can give clear answers to the concerns of our citizens, clean up the aquifer and monitor the system more effectively.
