Local Residents Feel “Abandoned” as Soil Contamination Concerns Emerge
Table of Contents
The Avenir santé surroundings association has voiced strong indignation over what they describe as a lack of transparency regarding recommendations concerning vegetable gardens near the la Pallice factories. The association, long advocating for an end to pesticide use, argues that residents have not been adequately informed about potential health risks associated with soil contamination.
Lack of Prior Communication Raises Questions
Avenir santé environment released a statement criticizing the presentation of the advice as “information already known,” asserting that it was never officially communicated to those directly affected. “If this recommendation was truly known and accepted, why was no resident ever informed?” the collective questioned. They further challenged the notion of a “recall,” arguing that it’s impossible to recall something that was never communicated in the first place.
The association believes this lack of communication, coupled with a prolonged silence surrounding the issue of soil pollution, has left local residents feeling abandoned and vulnerable.
Concerns Over garden Safety and City’s Basis for recommendation
Avenir santé environment also questioned when amateur gardeners began needing to fear for their health due to proximity to the La Pallice factories. They are seeking clarification on the data and reasoning behind the City’s recommendation, stating that residents were never warned about the potential risks of cultivating open-ground vegetable gardens.
“No structured communication has been put in place, and no support for the families concerned has been offered,” the association emphasized, highlighting the perceived lack of concern for public health.
This situation underscores the critical need for proactive and transparent communication regarding environmental health risks, ensuring that residents are fully informed and empowered to protect themselves and their families.
