If you feel curious, smoke has been seen for many weeks (and years) comes mainly from burning garbage in the landfill. The burning may be intentional but not necessarily. The methane gas resulting from the fermentation of organic matter is 50% of emissions of gases produced in landfills. Gas is explosive and cause accidental fires that occur in landfills. This gas and anhydride carbon dioxide produced during burning of waste, are primarily responsible for global warming or greenhouse effect. Other gases emitted from landfills are vinyl chloride, benzene, methyl chloride, trichlorethylene and toxic or carcinogenic effects. If you get headaches, feel faint or that scratches the throat and nose is caused by químcos those invisible that can cause discomfort, expenditure on medicines and, frankly, to death.
During the fire accidental or deliberate release into the atmosphere are highly toxic substances such as dioxins, chlorinated products when burned, especially plastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in wide use (food and beverage containers, packaging, toys, pipes, etc.).. All those white plastic cups and plates when burned in landfills produce toxic and carcinogenic substances. If you would like to wear glasses and dishes such remember that when the garbage starts to be burned at the dump and they will return to you in the form of airborne chemicals that can cause cancer. It is best not to use or buy.
Following the burning of chlorinated products, it also emits hydrochloric acid, which causes respiratory and irritation of mucous membranes. Lead, cadmium and mercury are heavy metals in landfill leachate (water and debris coming down from the dump). The lead comes mainly from car batteries and electronics, plastics, glass, ceramics, pigments, etc. Lead causes brain damage in children and hypertension in adults. Mercury causes neurological and kidney damage. ( Left, mercury is death ).
sources are mainly cadmium and mercury batteries. Now, watch, batteries usually contain mercury and lead. A quantity of mercury equal to a grain of sand is enough to contaminate an Olympic swimming pool full. All those beterías watches, telephones, flashlights, radio (AA and AAA) usually contain mercury and end up in our landfill.
The water running down the canyons and that filters through the earth goes to the river, the sea, the tripe, the patio, wells and home. That mercury can produce permanent damage and chronic diseases, plus the cost of medicines. By the way, one gallon of used motor oil contaminates one million gallons of water, so when you see washing car engines or in the ravines and river imagine the impact on their health and the environment. ( Right, open dump ).
is, in the smoke coming from the landfill by burning trash voluntary or involuntary are chemicals that can cause cancer and / or respiratory problems in children, the elderly and people in general. ;
If you've been itching the throat, nose or felt a little dizzy, and if even the taste of food has changed is likely due to high levels of chemicals damaging that you have absorbed from the air. When in the air not only affect the poor or those living in the La Granja, but that affects local, foreigners, residents, tourists, the cars, trees and people. are deposited on their tables, chairs, pillows, your bed, in the yard, the leaves of trees, in the car and the air you breathe that no seen. is slow and inevitable poisoning.
And we have not mentioned anything about people burning trash in yards, streets and lots in our neighborhoods.
The use of landfill is the responsibility of the City. If you just read is concerned then you know where to go to claim that action is taken thereon.
