Citizens were concerned regarding the volume and type of waste stored on the site of the earthmoving company Euro Snef Contain. A few days ago, the police and the labor prosecutor’s office went to the site and discovered a real dump: cans of chemicals, plastic, rubble and asbestos were stored. Trash”for which apparently they are not in compliance” specifies Michel Scheys, the alderman for the environment “the waste was put like that, as it is, in bulk, without any protection, on the ground, in the open air, whereas all of this should have been put in a very confined place“. Asbestos must be treated in a very special way, because asbestos dust is dangerous for health: if inhaled, it can settle deep in the lungs and cause serious respiratory illnesses.
According to initial estimates “we are talking regarding several tens of cubic meters of asbestos” explains Michel Scheys “a surveyor was called to measure the different cubages of the different products that are stored there.”. Seals have been placed, which means that the waste will not be removed straight away. The municipality reassures, there is no danger for the inhabitants”the first house is several hundred meters away“reassures the environmental alderman” that said, it will be necessary to analyze the stored products to ensure that there is no soil pollution.“
