Herbicides docks for cleaning and gutter in place of the trimmer
. By Anas - but also for Highways, Trenitalia and many other management bodies of the road '- is now a proven practical and from north to south, the road flanked by a strip of grass dried up is becoming a sadly familiar sight. And a little interested in the certainty that the product containing glyphosate (Monsanto is the most popular and is marketed under the name "Roundup") used along the lines of the Peninsula is more toxic to the environment and people. More ': As explained by
experts interviewed by Tiscali News, "a scientific study published in the journal Cancer
"shows that" the use of glyphosate leads to an increase of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. "Suspicion that the heavy restrictions imposed by law on its use often are not met, then complete the picture. ANAS and 'aware of the risks ? At our "difficult questions" (as 'you and' press office expressed the editor's note), after three days of waiting, responding to e-mail the Director of Central Financial Anas, Eng. Michele Adil.
Director, for giving up the grass cutting by mechanical means to use herbicides along roadsides?
"The use of herbicides is limited to certain areas of relevance road and does not affect the vast majority of green areas for which cutting dell'erba viene effettuato con i tradizionali mezzi meccanici".
Come scritto nel vostro comunicato stampa, l'Anas utilizza da qualche anno diserbanti a base di "glyphosate" che, secondo molti esperti e come dimostra una ricerca scientifica, influisce sull'incidenza dei tumori. Avete fatto delle verifiche sui prodotti che utilizzate?
"La valutazione sulla tossicità dei prodotti, con particolare riguardo a possibili effetti cancerogeni, è di competenza degli organismi nazionali ed internazionali preposti. Anas accerta che vengano utilizzati prodotti idonei per tale uso".
Le cunette delle nostre strade sono spesso frequentate da animali selvatici e da allevamento. Oltre che da persone looking asparagus, snails and more. Have you considered the risk to public health, taking into account that if it rains the water flow promotes the absorption of these substances from the soil and the risk of groundwater pollution?
"The products are not pesticides and herbicides are not to be hazardous or to human health or the environment." The herbicide
withers the grass at the roadside by greatly increasing the fire risk: think of the classic cigarette butt thrown out the window. You have also taken account of this?
(No response)
Anas Very often rely on third party service grass cutting road-side: spot checks are carried out to verify compliance with all rules on the protection of waters and the territorial buffer zones, in addition to the safety of workers who work with these chemicals?
"The control of grass cutting service is carried out by staff ANAS, the requirements for the safety of personnel of companies doing business with herbicides are contained in the security plans of the same contracting companies."
would not be the case that Anas interrupt this practice immediately and returned to the mechanical brush cutter or, alternatively, give timely information to citizens on the risks arising from the use of chemical herbicides health and the environment?
"The products used are commercial products and have all the clearances from the agencies to allow their use. Anas however, in respect of primary health and the environment is constantly striving to ensure the proper compliance and established procedures. "
