It 'was announced a new toxicological study of the National Toxicology Program of the U.S. government took on the hexavalent chromium through ingestion of contaminated water which highlights activities carcinogenic to the oral cavity and the intestines even after taking water containing high concentrations of hexavalent chromium. The higher the concentration, the higher the chances of contracting cancer. "There are no more spaces for prevarication - says Patrick Dolcini, Regional Environment League - should reopen and complete the reclamation Flap Treviglio, without further controversy in the electoral background and without causing alarm. We have meanwhile called for an urgent meeting of the Council for the Environment in Treviglio, the municipalities concerned have so far proved to be always available and attentive to people's health. It 'important that they continue to urge the Lombardy Region, on the basis of these new data, the release of the reclamation. "The Regional Council of Verdi Marcello Saponaro filed an interpellation in the region which calls for further fund the remediation of groundwater Treviglio and is active against the Government for this to ask EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) for an appropriate and updated risk assessment and new maximum acceptable limits of hexavalent chromium in drinking water and groundwater: "The potential risk from intake of water with hexavalent chromium - Saponaro says - can not let anyone rest easy, nor administrators Region Lombardy which has been repeatedly reported the situation of water in Treviglio. It is not clear why the region has ceased to be content of the clean drinking water to levels achieved (25 microgram / liter), despite the Italian legislation (national law relating to land reclamation DM 471/1999 and Decree 152/2006) determines that the remediation has plot the values \u200b\u200bof chromium VI within 5 micrograms. Lombardy instead to invite the Government to remedy these inconsistencies, it continues to be inadequate under legislation on that subject even in the presence of a threat to the health of citizens. "
