BRESCIA - Montichiari and Vighizzolo capital of the stink - Intoxicated children

Vighizzolo and Montichiari, realities well known for their hills of waste, have reached the threshold of the chronicle for horrible reasons: the children were very sick after having breathed the air that smelled violently.

Seven landfills are in fact the legacy that Montichiari brings as a gift thanks to the choices made in the recent past. The most demaged hamlet is Vighizzolo where, because of the landfills, the schools on Monday morning were closed because the air of the district was not breathable.

The teachers, but above all the parents, intervened and the protest mounted so much that the parents' representatives let know that the children won't go back to school until the matter is resolved.

The families of Vighizzolo have declared that they haven't had answers to their questions about the origin of so many sudden illnesses yet.

Furthermore, in Montichiari, one parent calculated that the polluted air corresponds to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for his 9-year-old son.

Pollutans are highly toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. They enter the blood and fix themselves to the fat of the glands; they infiltrate the groundwater and are ingested by everyone, even drinking mineral water, because the contaminated one is introduced in the form of fruit, vegetables, water for pasta, tea, coffee...

Money has been collected to clean up, but decontaminating is very expensive.

Qcumber, a new platform to advise about pollution

# data[].attributes.body
The citizens of Montichiari, in eight months, have reported more than 1​,​600 cases of olfactory harassment. They did it through Qcumber, the web platform designed by engineer Giuseppe Magro. Citizens' reports are then processed by a complex algorithm that calculates the impact of harmful substances on the environment. And he is able to identify the causes. Crossing the Arpa data we see that the result, in the case of Montichiari, shows that people were right​. Faced with this scientific evidence "the administrations will no longer be able to pretend nothing and will have to take this into account", explains Magro. Selected at the London Startup Olympics as "one of the 100 most interesting projects in the world", Qcumber works "like an iris because it makes it visible that it is not". 95% of the environmental impacts are not visible, but they can be felt. Like the miasma felt by the children of Vighizzolo who felt bad in January.
And the fraction of Montichiari is the area most at risk for the concentration of landfills, quarries and industrial plants. "After codifying the problems of the territory, it is necessary to provide the municipalities with a planning strategy". The study was commissioned by the Comitato SOS terra and the administration of Montichiari, which now, through Qcumber, shouldmanage themonitoringofthecompaniesonitsterritory.Nowtheopengameisthat of the PGT, not yet approved. "The goal is that in processing it the administration takes this data into account. Otherwise for us - says Magro - it would be a defeat”.

We also have to remember that in Montichiari there's an airport, so  a lot of planes leave from the town every day. This is not good for Montichiari because it verypollutes the air!
