Cementirossi, now we start again from scratch
Fumane. Cementirossi, everything to be redone. TAR of Veneto accept the appeal against the cement and cancel all the resolutions of the Province with regard to the amount of waste used in the production of cement. Rejected also the project of expansion and modernization of the plant, which provided, among other things, the creation of a high tower 103 meters to contain a new oven cyclones. The appeal had been filed in 2009 by Legambiente, the association Valpolicella 2000, the committee Fumane Futura and seven private citizens. The bombshell came on late Tuesday evening with a tamtam of phone calls by surprise. "We did not expect a decision so complete," says the chairman of Fumane Futura, Mimmo Conchi, in response to warm " ball around the court and pull his ears to the Province and municipalities. The policy should protect the environment and look to the future of an area, especially where there is conflict on initiatives and projects always regarded as unquestionable from a company as powerful Cementirossi. What were the interests protected so far? Now we can talk about new plans, perhaps even conversion .
The appeal was accepted in toto, in substance and form, and especially looked at the situation in the cement in a total Valpolicella: the environmental impact assessments for the use of waste and modernization of the factory the construction of the tower must be seen in one view, not separately , according to the associations. These, and Valpolicella Fumane Futura 2000, "must be considered legitimate," reads the ruling, "since their undoubted roots in the Valpolicella area, and their statutory purpose: the statutes shows that the two associations are responsible for protecting and enhancing the environment. " Marezzane on excavations, however, there is nothing new: a favorable opinion given by the Province and the region is subject to the binding opinion of the Superintendent, who has yet to deliver, as there is not clear about the requirements and provisions not submitted incomplete.
The consequences of the decision of the TAR, as well as freeze the expansion project for defect of form and substance and motivation are incoherent, concerning the use of waste, returning to the simplified procedure: that is, we go from 80 thousand tonnes of incinerator bottom ash derived from stir the mixture of cement per year, currently used, to 12 thousand tonnes previously authorized. Such authorizations must be renewed every six months. "The ruling effectively rejects the prospect of industrial revival in Valpolicella with waste disposal, which causes us great concern," continues Conchi, " we submitted in the application many comments which have all been accepted, where we found omissions. For example, it lacks, because it never presented the plan, that it is very important . Satisfaction was also expressed by the president of Legambiente Veneto, Michele Bertucco "very important result, perché in questo modo si potrà ripensare al futuro della Valpolicella; è importante soprattutto che siano state accolte tutte le istanze del ricorso e riconosciuto che l'iter procedurale tenuto dalla Provincia era viziato». Lorenzo Albi, presidente di Legambiente Verona, aggiunge: «La sentenza del Tar è esemplare, in quanto si rileva che la stessa commissione provinciale di Valutazione di impatto ambientale aveva sottolineato questi elementi di incompatibilità, tuttavia aveva dato parere favorevole lo stesso. C'erano tante contraddizioni nelle decisioni prese dalla Provincia, oltre a vizi di forma e sostanza, con motivazioni incoerenti o non date proprio: e questo è stato tenuto in considerazione dal giudice. Viene messo, inoltre, also highlighted the issue of viability Fumane, which provided a table for discussion among all stakeholders, ever, is also contradicted the assessments made by the City of Fumane. Overall, it is declared the illegality of the proposed extension. This decision of the TAR of Veneto certainly will mean that there is a revision of the waste by the use of cement in general and it can be assumed that this use is henceforth illegal. " "In fact, so far," continues Albi, " cement works have always done whatever they wanted. And you can not continue to say that now is the cement factory in Valpolicella for 40 years, then we accept everything that comes .
USE CDR in cement and power plants
Study of the European Commission, DG Environment, the use of RDF in power plants and cement plants in states that
• Compared to conventional fuels, the CDR has the largest concentrations of chlorine, cadmium, mercury, lead, copper and lower concentrations of sulfur and nickel.
• mercury emissions from cement are their weak point on the supply of CDR.
• The most critical point is the impact of products (cement) and by-products (ashes) of co-combustion in which, over the use of conventional fuels, there has been a greater concentration of chloride, lead, cadmium, copper, zinc.
• The experiments on the environmental impact resulting from the partial replacement of coal power station in Fusina, with CDR
• Compared to the use of conventional fuels, CDR has the largest concentrations of chlorine, cadmium, mercury, lead, copper and minor concentrations of sulfur and nickel.
• And consequently causes increased emission of ammonia, chlorine, mercury, total PAHs, dioxins and furans.
• The concentration of mercury, with its characteristics of bioaccumulation and non-biocompatibility, increases in emissions of the plant consistently two to five times with the power to CDR.
• In the final tests performed in the power plant of Fusina has allowed us to verify that the replacement of fuel of conventional, with CDR, worsens the quality of the emissions significantly for different pollutants, including dioxins and furans.
• Each cement produces and discharged into the air millions of cubic meters per day of gas pollutants and carcinogens, comprising:
• polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, dibenzofurans) and heavy metals.
• All extremely hazardous substances that are persistent and accumulate in living organisms,
• grit (PM10) and fine (PM2, 5) and nanoparticles (0.1-0.2 PM10) consisting essentially of metals heavy (non-biodegradable or biocompatible).
• "nanoparticles" that escape the filters of the cement, they are not even detected by the current systems for monitoring emissions • coarse dust (PM10) and fine (PM2, 5) and nanoparticles (0.1-0.2 PM10) consisting mainly of heavy metals (non-biodegradable or biocompatible).
CONTROL IN CONTINUOUS:
• Effluent Flow - Humidity - Temperature - Dust - O2 - NOx - SO2 - CO
discontinuous control or periods
(just cash 1 or 2 times a year) from autodenuncia to
• Metals and their compounds - VOCs (volatile organic compounds) - HCl - HF - PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) - PCDD / PCDF (dioxins / furans) - PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls)
• , About the issue of dust from industrial chimneys, the News FIMMG (Italian Federation of General Practitioners) in May 2006 reports:
• , "The Last incinerators generazione …
contribuiscono grandemente alla immissione nell'ambiente di polveri finissime PM2,5
che costituiscono un rischio sanitario ben più grave delle note polveri PM10.
• Non esiste alcun tipo di filtro industriale capace di bloccare il particolato da 2,5 micron o inferiore ma, in base alle leggi vigenti, questo ha poca importanza.
• Gli impianti industriali producono pochissimo PM10, di cui la legge prescrive il monitoraggio, and a huge amount of nanoparticles
unfortunately not covered in the assessments.
• Therefore, by law, the air is clean!
• , The health impact of cement is due to the fact that the thermal and chemical processes that occur in them, make billions of atoms and molecules are highly toxic and that the transport of nanoparticles through the air and the respiratory tract, .. until DNA ...
The ultrafine particles, heavy metals, dioxins, furans and halogenated compounds are formed in the combustion process between 1200 => 600 ° C, which is in the terminal phase of the combustion process
• Zone 2 (flame): vaporization and molecular dissociation 1500-1200 ° C where high temperature generates large quantities of vaporized metals and chlorine, which react very important elements in the area later. •
Zona 3 (post-fiamma), ricca di componenti altamente reattivi
(come radicali e molecole) che generano diossine, furani e particolato metallico (con azione catalitica) che funziona come substrato per le molecole organiche
• Se abbiamo buona memoria ricorderemo i disastrosi effetti ambientali causati da:
• Piombo nelle benzine
• Amianto in articles in "Eternit"
• Mercury in the chlor-alkali
• DDT pesticide
However, at present, do not judge it wiser to other errors, using the application of the Precautionary Principle
to avoid, with the co-combustion CDR, worsen air quality in areas of fallout of emissions from existing co-firing with bio-accumulative and persistent compounds and metals such as dioxin, furans and mercury.
adopt the precautionary principle and the responsibility also means: •
accept a duty to inform
• prevent ' concealment of information about possible health risks
• ensure that we continue to regard the entire human species as a whole of guinea pigs on which to test everything that is capable of inventing technological progress (L. Tomatis)
