GROSCLAUDE roubaix@lavoixdunord.fr The acronym is not yet known. That of the association that issued it is much more. After seven years of action for victims of asbestos, ADAVAMAS becomes the collective support and prevention of asbestos hazards and up in Roubaix, a real "platform" of care for the sick and those who were exposed to the material cancérigène.En moving parallel to (the local de Lys-lez-Lannoy was more suitable), this change of name, celebrated Tuesday night during a reception for a hundred people took part sums up "the dimension we want to give the association", insists Jacques Deshayes, president of Capra. He recalled that the director, Ghislaine Plé, and members can be "proud" of what has been done for the population to asbestos. The latter is of glory (to have conspired with the former employees of the former factory Stein, an order from Alstom Appeal for endangering others) can not hide the daily action: psychological support ("we encounter anxiety and confusion among more and more people"), legal support (to claim compensation courts in particular) and especially medical support. "We must build, through partnership with the pulmonology department of the hospital, monitoring missions and care. This is not the private one that would! "Insists the mayor of Roubaix, Rene Vandierendonck. Because since 2006 and the agreement with the hospital of Roubaix he chairs, the care of the sick and especially prevention have greatly improved. Especially with the passage of scanners that are said Dr. Barbieux, "the only way to identify asbestos-related violations." In recent years, about 370 people, 100 asbestos-related diseases have been identified. "The more they are diagnosed early, the better we can treat them," insists the pulmonologist. He stressed that such expertise should now be extended. And that is precisely the subject of CAPRA. "It is estimated that in recent decades, 270,000 people were exposed between Bailleul and Douai. More than 80 000 will develop more or less serious diseases, "says Ghislaine Plé.C is this scale that CAPRA will now deploy its efforts (if its average follow): better informing those who were exposed through to platelets, distributed to doctors "who are not always trained to identify injuries related to asbestos" but also by a website. Next battle horse, leaving the town and tackle Roubaix to an industry very touched by the problems of asbestos, the building. "In the construction industry, asbestos is a concern because we are primarily concerned," says Maurice Mamelin, regional president of the Mutual Construction, which became a partner in the CAPRA. He will make a place at the show Northern Bat, in April in Lille. In this area, with the amounts of materials that have been scattered in buildings, "the risk of asbestos will continue for decades and its magnitude would be underestimated," warns Ghislaine Ple. •> www.capra-amiante.fr Tel: 03 20 80 99 36.
