Over 20 sites identified risks
A workshop on the risks of oil Askarel (PCBs) and asbestos, held Wednesday at the national paints (ENAP ) by the Labour Inspectorate of the wilaya of Souk Ahras, allowed participants to highlight the danger posed by these toxic chemicals on the health of workers and by extension, that of the entire population.
machines and equipment, operating based askarel imported before 1987, are potential sources of contamination and incurable diseases for people in regular contact and / or permanent with this equipment. This viscous liquid, colorless, irreducible, 300 ° flammable and extremely toxic, as defined by the stakeholders, was used for the first time in 1929 in Western countries. The serious fatal accidents that occurred in Japan and the U.S. led its first users to prohibit its marketing. In Algeria, where casualties were recorded before 1987 in Blida, El Khroub, Mostaganem, Ain Smara, Boumerdes and Boufarik, purchase, sale, importation, use any purpose of these toxic oils are banned since 2007 and punishable by law 03/83 and Decree 182/87. The implementation of these laws has certainly managed to minimize the risks but failed to solve the problem permanently. Transformers, capacitors and other equipment, operating based askarel are still in hospital Ibn Rushd, the center's vocational training Sedrata, parks of Algeria Telecom, the CPA and the Souk Ahras least 20 other sites identified recently. One firm owns Franco-Belgian disposal technology of these oils. The risk of movement of equipment and costly burden of such an operation make it impossible. It is limited for now, to isolate the machines containing the chemical. Invited to this appointment, Dr. Saidia, explained in great detail the immediate effects caused by these toxic oils on the health of citizens in case of contamination. "The subject infected is often eye problems such as deformation of perceived objects and the lack of colors, amnesia, headache resistant to treatment, drowsiness, liver problems and cancer liver, leukemia and other incurable diseases , "he said. The representative of Sonelgaz insist, meanwhile, on preventive measures to be implemented, adding: " capacitors and transformers that worked previously based askarel must be isolated, placed on a platform in a tight température ambiante avec bacs de sable et extincteurs pour prévenir tout accident pouvant dégénérer en catastrophe naturelle, notamment pour les cas d'incendie ». The unit manager paintings Souk Ahras (UPSA), in this case Mr. Dahmani, evoking the experience of his company, said that the insulation of these devices requires human and material resources, at the same time offering the assistance of its business to prevent risks of accidents. " We replaced 16 capacitors that contain this toxic substance to replace them with other newly acquired ," he said. Stakeholders must, moreover, to raise the same issue in relation to firms being liquidated and those facing financial difficulties, where facilities-based operating askarel can be isolated in the manner required. The carcinogenic effects of asbestos material in construction materials, means of water pipes and prefabricated buildings, was the other aspect discussed at this meeting. Stakeholders who have requested the collaboration of services and those of DLEP OPGI have hoped to launch an awareness campaign to eliminate this toxic substance of old buildings. Others have found that the continuing use of asbestos material prized for its cost and strength even in recent buildings. The creation of a cell, composed of several partners, will be the main tasks of information, awareness and prevention against these toxic materials, and is an alternative recommended by the participants and facilitators of this study day.
