DIGESA results came out on oil spill in the Marañon - Although it was made the same day and in the same areas of the Marañón River. - Report Digesa will be considered by the Attorney General for legal action. - The PCM demands immediate report of final results. Confusion, surprise, suspicion and disbelief are causing the reports submitted by the Research Institute of the Peruvian Amazon (IIAP) and the General Directorate of Environmental Health (DIGESA), regarding pollution registered on June 19 2010 in the Marañón River, by the spill of 320 barrels of crude oil. Results were diametrically opposed and there must be a third organization specializing in analysis of samples of river pollution due to oil spills, since many DIGESA mention that at times has tried to minimize the contamination presented in the rivers. The IIAP under the responsibility of 04 technicians, presented the results of the analysis made to the Marañón river on 22 June. The benchmark assessment area was around Saramuro Station and near Santa Rita de Castilla, three days after the oil spill. Sampling Stations: 1 .- Saramuro. 2 .- 200 m before Saramuro. 3 .- Saramuro 500 m below. 4 .- Santa Rita de Castilla. He says results show high pollution ... "The results of the analysis of the Marañón River samples have a high content of oils and fats that exceed by more than one hundred times the National Environmental Quality Standards for Water, established on the DS MINAM 002-2008 Category for water records the IIAP. Results Ph and oils and fats ... Sampling points: -Saramuro .- Coordinates: 508237-9478379, Ph.-7.6-mg / L 110.00. -200 M before Saramuro: 507838-9471723-PH.-7.7-mg/L113.00. -500 M below Saramuro: 508301-9479343-Ph.-7.0-mg / L 109.00. -Santa Rita: PH.-7.7-mg/L108.00. What is striking here is that Saramuro 200 m before, there was a greater degree of contamination (113.00) than the 500 m below Saramuro (109.00) that is supposed to be receiving the brunt of oil spilled ( ?). RECOMMENDATIONS IIAP. Knowing that dispersants have been used for oil spills that have caused its dissolution and precipitation at the bottom of the river, it is necessary to follow a comprehensive monitoring of the impacts that could arise in the short and medium term in the water, sediment, flora and fauna the impacted area. DIGESA RESULTS ... As recalled after DIRESA take out samples from various parts of the Marañón River received the spill of more than 300 barrels of oil, they were sent to the laboratories of the Department of Environmental Health for the respective analysis which would enable them make a final assessment. With regard to released by the Environmental Analysis Laboratory Control of Water physiochemical, the Report of "test" 0535 shows: -Code: 05055.-3 km. downstream from the confluence with the creek Parinari, right bank of the river: According to the TPH Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons C10 to C32 ... gives a mg / L to 0.02. -05 056: Facing Shapajilla community, margin-right next to Santa Rita Island: According shows a TPH-mg / L of less than 0.01. -05 057 500 m upstream of the oil spill, front Saramuro / central part of the river / Urarinas / Loreto. TPH.-mg / L of less than 0.01. -05 058: Code M-12 Field ... 50 m downstream from the station bombeo. río.-TPH/mg/L right-margin of less than 0.01. -05 059: Field Code M.12-A: 50 m downstream of the river ... TPH mg / L of less than 0.01. -05 060 500 m downstream from the pumping station: TPH mg / L of less than 0.01. -05 061 500 m downstream from the pumping station, right bank of the river ... TPH mg / L 0.01. So for DIGESA virtually no pollution existed in the Marañón river unless those responsible for leaving Loreto and press conference, reading better explain the results received from the Capital, signed by the Blga. Soledad Osorio Alva, as he is claiming the leader Alfonso López Tejada. Results abysmal two-presumably serious institutions, deserve a detailed explanation to the citizens, especially those affected by pollution in the Maranon. |
