IMPATTO AMBIENTALE E INDUSTRIA: IL CASO DEGLI IMPIANTI CEMENTIFERI DI COLLEFERRO E GUIDONIA

Abstract

Environmental impact and industry: the case of the cement-based plants of Colleferro and Guidonia. – Colleferro and Guidonia are two Lazio municipalities of the metropolitan city of Roma Capitale, linked to an industrial vocation, in particular that of cement. The first with the Italcementi pozzolana company, the other with the Buzzi Unicem cement plant. They are important factories because of the effects on local employment and economy. The two cement plants have adopted the best technologies available in favor of the environment and health, effectively reducing the production of polluting dust and CO2, but a more accurate study of the health evidence produced over time is needed.This case study can provide useful qualitative-quantitative indicators concerning the complex industry-environment-health relationship in two different contexts, even if they fall within the same regional reality.
