Denounced an episode of air pollution and odors in Sewell (23/04/2010)

Ecologists in Action has filed separate complaints with the Department of Planning, Evaluation and Environmental Control from the Ministry of Agriculture and Water and Sewer to the City Council, noting that during the morning of April 21 was detected in several areas Sewell, episodes of strong odors.

This means in practice and reduced deterioration of air quality in this area and public and occupational exposure to substances in the atmosphere whose origin is unknown.

Ecologists in Action requested to the Ministry of Agriculture and Water to open a file of information, and to inquire about the cause of these strong odors in sewers, they determine their origin and refine the relevant responsibilities.

The environmental organization has claimed on several occasions the need for daily inspections of industrial sites around Sewell, since the problems of odor and air pollution have not only not solved but persist over time.

Ecologists in Action remember, and persists in reporting the information censorship policy of the Ministry of Agriculture and Water, which has eliminated the hourly and daily data for the pollutants benzene, toluene, xylene and PM 2.5.

As a result of this news blackout and no data are available from the aforementioned contaminants on the website on air quality from the Ministry of Agriculture and Water.

Since November last year has only been re-released the quarterly averages of benzene, which is impossible to see if there is an increase of this pollutant on a given day or hours.

The environmental organization demands both the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Sewer and the City Council out of their passivity and inaction, and in a coordinated fashion to resolve episodes of odors and air pollution in the municipality.
