ASBESTOS FEARS NEW EXPLOSION IN 'St. Anne Hospital, a nurse


TURIN - A nurse in the St. Anne died of mesothelioma and Guariniello has opened an investigation for manslaughter. The hospital is full of asbestos, it was also near the Queen Margherita. The documents of the health of which the judge came into possession clarify beyond doubt that the administrative heads of St. Anne from 1997 there was full knowledge of the degradation of coatings of asbestos linoleum corridors of the underground piping, hydraulic, having both vertical and horizontal, the thermal power plant.

For that reason will ultimately accountable, investigated for the crime, directors succeeded since then. Beginning from well-known for the tangent-story, Luigi Odasso, to continue with the successors Gianluigi Boveri (1998-2006), Marinella D'Innocenzo (2006-2008) and end with Walter Arossa (in office until 2010), the only one, to that of the same employees of the magistrate, who has worked hard to address the problem.

seems a paradox that in a place designed to give birth to healthy babies nurse becomes ill and dies a very serious risk corridor nestled in the most commonly used to move from one department to another of Sant'Anna. Where is the health care of other women who have lost it. It is even more ironic that the same risk has been ongoing at the Regina Margherita, Children's Hospital.

The judge is moving cautiously but firmly, because another case due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers - for a second employee of St. Anne fell ill of peritoneal mesothelioma - is still under "investigation." As well as other, similar to the Molinette. Where the usual Odasso, moved to the top of the hospital, company in its own way in conversations intercepted by police also on this emergency.

The positive aspect of a long and conscious neglect is that, with inspections of Spresal since October 2008 and the interest of Arossa to Anne and Queen Margherita of asbestos, particularly the highly degraded, has been brought under control. In the long corridor underground pipes insulated with mineral terrible were encapsulated. And, adds Dr. Arossa, "was open for the remediation of the site of the third corridor. Work will need to stagger units: the personnel shifts from the Queen Anne and vice versa through those trenches. " Total estimated cost for cleaning up: € 1,050,000.

What is unacceptable is that in 1997 an internal report reveals "the widespread deterioration, with injuries and posting of materials, insulation all asbestos water pipes placed in view in the basement. " Environmental investigations were made. Were repeated every two years. Until, in July 2007, following a "visual inspection", it is recognized in another internal document of the 'high potential for release of asbestos fibers. " You must wait for the arrival of Arossa by consultant pulmonologist Guariniello in trials died of asbestos, it will be formalized requests for funding.

Arossa: "I did what I could. The rehabilitation of thermal power plant in the Regina Margherita I proceeded at once: there were closed in there for workers. And the linoleum flooring has been replaced everywhere was degraded. Unfortunately, it will take 30 months to complete the remediation. "
