Eko bomba u Slavonskom Brodu - kancerogeni kreozot teče otvorenim kanalom u Savu

SLAVONSKi BROD - Afera u Karlovcu završila je neuspješnim zataškavanjem i policijskom istragom. Prema informacijama BEUZ-a, to u Karlovcu je pravi mačji kašalj, takoreći sitnica, prema eko bombi u Slavonskom Brodu.

Impregnacija Slavonije DI ne radi od 1987. a u sustavu kanalizacije ispod tvornice je ostalo oko 300 tona kreozota, vrlo opasne kancerogene tvari koja se koristila za impregnaciju drveta. Voda otapa kreozotno ulje i teče otvorenim kanalom od tvornice do rijeke Save pokraj kuća i stambenih naselja.

Ovih dana stanovnici naselja Sv.Lovre, koji se i inače žale na nepodnošljivi smrad iz tog kanala, imali su ponovno izlijevanje vode iz "crnog potoka" Slavonije DI.

U Slavoniji DI ističu kako su problem naslijedili od starih vlasnika te kako bi se u saniranje kanala trebala uključiti i šira zajednica. Problem rješavaju te će investirati u pročistač voda. U Vodopravnoj inspekciji kažu kako voda iz kanala zadovoljava uvjete vodopravne dozvole, no u tim analizama se ne provjerava prisutnost kreozotnih ulja.

Removal of creosote must be done in a controlled environment to prevent it from seeping into water systems and to prevent particles from getting into the air. Trucks used to remove the creosote from a toxic area must be washed thoroughly to prevent dried materials from flying off and polluting other areas, and the water used to wash the trucks must be cleaned before it flows into storm sewers in order to avoid getting into groundwater and perpetuating the pollution. Removal trucks are also sealed before leaving removal sites.
