From the giant vehicle, a smelly liquid is dripping. The huge stain is visible even in the street and the unpleasant smell can be felt from afar. In the Pip area of San Nicolò d'Arcidano, there is an ecological bomb ready to explode .
In the locality of “Genna Crabile” a huge truck is parked with 20 tons of mussels in a state of decomposition. This is what the ASL of Oristano has ascertained.
"This is a huge quantity of small-sized mussels from the nursery ," explained the ASL veterinarian Peppe Sedda, director of the Hygiene, Livestock Farming and Livestock Production Service. " During the trip, the refrigerators went to pieces, which is why the material ended up like this, it must be disposed of immediately ."
The problem is precisely this: the driver of the truck is waiting for his employer to pay for the disposal at Bs Green which is located two hundred meters away from where the vehicle is parked.
Meanwhile, the mayor Davide Fanari, local health authority, given the danger to public health, the health and hygiene problems and the presence of the miasma forms, two days ago signed an ordinance with which he obliges the company Thermotrans, with registered office in Gurada, Portugal, to dispose of the material of animal origin in the nearest plant.
"And if this cannot receive the mussels - the document reads - it orders the immediate removal from the territory."
The vehicle reached the area at the invitation of the Laconi traffic police, after being stopped on the 131 for a check on October 13. In that case too, the ASL had been alerted. However, the Animal Origin Food Hygiene Service had intervened. The veterinarians had already indicated that the material should be destroyed.
