1 - Municipal solid waste in Campania
No serious conversation can be conducted on Campania's waste management crisis if we do not start on the correct definition of these wastes other than those in medium composition described in the literature. In refusing
field found it:
a) huge amounts of packaging and building business;
b) large quantities of toxic waste often craft (from the stem of solvent of a body builder to glue the sole factory, or the little factory of handbags etc.)
c) large quantities of industrial waste (sludge grinding or plating, waste paint, etc..) from the official and clandestine factories.
This observation is vital to understand what we're talking about, is verified in two facts:
1) the increase in production of solid waste in the last two years (from 510 to 580kg/ab/anno Naples), not certainly justified by a sharp rise in living standards;
2) the quality of the leachate from the waste that arrives at a value of 140 g / l of COD, [which is the parameter for light pollution load]
But how do these non-municipal waste in the mass of urban? There are two roads
:
a) leaving unchecked in the streets and bins (and the piles in these days of the operation is facilitated and growing),
b) corruption of individual operators and "bundles" them in its industrial waste compactor during the collection rounds.
c) In the past have also affected the dubious management of storage sites and processing provisional entrusted to private companies operating in the field of industrial waste.
Who would have seen it all and he did not, and why?
1) I Municipalities and the collecting society (ASIA, various consortia) involved in the distribution of patronage jobs have never activated controls and recycling to ignorance and sometimes because, for a quiet life, has left the management of illicit traffic in the hands of figures equivocal taken, which has never wanted to come into conflict because of fear or electoral interests.
2) The disposal and storage company (see FIBE, FISIA sites, "interim"), had an interest in the larger quantities being paid to possible weight (and so should not look too thin for what comes and you do not have never start recycling).
3) The management bodies and control (and for the various skills that include the City, Province, Region, as ARPAC State and in our case, being the Commissioner of the Government), have never done so to make a serious analysis of the breakdown of the RSU for not uncovering Campania a pot politically inconvenient.
add that I myself had to struggle with public and private organizations to affirm the truth about the leachate from Campania: the official figures of around 30 g COD / l, while the real figure was, as mentioned, to 140g / l.,
Admit it admit it was the nature of industrial waste, and most admit it was to stop the massive movement of these sewage plants in unlikely to spread central-southern Italy, with very high turnover given away to private firms.
On this there is to say that although it was acknowledged the real pollution load of the leachate has not changed its management.
2 - The consequences
From the above factors are derived consequences of disturbing:
- - refusal has left the streets of chemical and biological hazards will be higher than budgeted;
- --- the handling of this waste presents critical issues for the public and operators;
- --- the injection of these wastes to the CDR exposes workers to risks in the stages of
handling accessories, and nothing is known about the composition of the extracted and emitted into the atmosphere;
- --- the stabilized organic fraction, FOS, (ie separate from the wet CDR), which is produced is not determined in its polluting (It should serve to environmental restoration!)
- ---- the ecoballe produced, and they did not have adequate calorific value, are not suitable for burning in a plant for MSW (in this connection see the recent seizure of the incinerator
Terni, which made pollutants in the atmosphere for having burnt
dissimilar materials);
- --- the leachate from the waste load has a devastating pollutant.
3 - What
do I want to express in brief below which could, in the light of this, the measures necessary in my opinion, and immediately effective, considering the emergency phase and the set-up scheme (which would be feasible in a few months) :
Emergency
1) the development of interim storage of touring made according to local standard (sealing, collection of leachate and stormwater, control odors and animals, etc.). to work for no longer than 15 days;
2 ) assessment of the exact composition of the waste abandoned fields;
3) evaluation of the exact composition of FOS and ecoballe;
4) controlled landfill materials no longer inseparable;
5) controlled management of leachate;
6) restoration of storage areas:
Making arrangements
- ---- moratorium for one year on the whole region of disposable containers ;
----- creating a system of checks and penalties for businesses based on the transfer to industry consortia in the quantity of packaging can be deduced from the quantity of goods sold;
----- creating a system of checks and penalties for the activities of building construction, demolition and renovation;
- ---- Start of recycling door to door (with the system of rewards and sanctions) structured on different types (Wet, metals, paper, plastic, glass, hazardous municipal, residual undifferentiated share);
- ----- accurate assessment of the composition of the waste collected in Campania;
- ---- creation, every 30-40 thousand inhabitants, storage sites for dry materials (which give the collection) and immediately connected to industry consortia (for a city like Naples, it could also create 20-30);
- ---- creation of at least 15 plants composting in Campania, where the moist
confer differential together with waste from pruning and fruit and vegetable markets, with the possibility of creating a mark of quality compost from Campania DOP (in order to have a revival of
image of our tormented land);
----- accurate assessment of the commodity share of residual waste (which should not exceed 20% of current) to assess the most appropriate final destination (could not necessarily be the cheapest incineration ).
4 - A final observation
The last point I want to do is on the identification of disposal sites that are currently being addressed on old closed landfills (Plain, triplets, Ariano Irpino, etc.)..
Environmental legislation has always provided (since 1984), the phases of management of the so-called post-mortem dumps, huge management detailed legislation in 2003. The responsibility of monitoring and effective implementation of post-mortem is primarily in the hands of municipalities.
Why is not it?
And especially since there are no data of the environmental impacts (soil, subsoil, water, air) required under these laws?
Who did not produce them?
who did not require them to be produced at the same time allowed that often it developed human activities including tourism?
Who has allowed the commercial exploitation of land (probably contaminated) property of those who had managed the landfill?
