Alarm radioactive boars in Piedmont, is the long wave of the Chernobyl disaster

The complaint Zooprophylactic Institute of Turin are already 166 after the beginning of checks a year ago, the animals contaminated by cesium-137, a direct result of the nuclear accident of 1986 and the cloud that also affected Northern Italy

And 'the long wave of the Chernobyl disaster, almost thirty years later. The warning is the Institute of Experimental Zooprofilattico Piedmont, Liguria and Valle d'Aosta, which for more than a year analyzing the wild boar hunt for traces of cesium-137, an activity that began in March 2013, when some of these wild ungulates venenr? found abnormal levels of radioactivity, a direct result of the nuclear accident occurred in Ukraine, then the Soviet Union, on 26 April 1986 had provoked a radioactive cloud that spread, with rain, across Europe. A year ago, the animals were found to be contaminated 27.

Since then, the Institute directed by Maria Caramels continued to monitor the situation and analyzed 1,441 samples: the number of "Radioactive boars' has risen to 166. Originate all from the province of Verbano- Cusio-Ossola, in the north of Piedmont, and in particular from the Sesia Valley.

The opportunity to take stock of the situation was the conference organized by the Institute Zooprofilattico to SERMIG of Turin, as researchers, academics, representatives of agricultural organizations and hunting and more than 200 veterinarians throughout the Piedmont and other Italian regions.

"The 'European Union - says Maria Caramels - determined that the maximum levels of radioactivity in the wild should not exceed 600 bequerels per kilogram of weight. In our laboratories revealed a significantly higher concentration of cesium 137 in more than 10% of the samples examined. "

The toxic cloud, Caramels explains, "it passed over the northern regions of our country. Sesia Valley in the radioactive fallout were particularly intense because of the rain that fell during that period. Carcasses of wild coming from other areas of the Piedmont revealed no contamination" .
