Jean-Christophe Destaylor, mayor of Halloween (different centre), in the North, is concerned. In this city of 22,000 inhabitants Resident of Lille and the Belgian border, she is not the only one. In front of him, a gastroenterologist has been stirring heaven and earth for so long that health authorities have examined the effects of thirty-one years of dioxin discharge from the old household waste incinerator at the entrance to the city.
In his practice, between 2003 and 2005, Dr. Jean Lefevre observed a number of crabs “Unusually high” among his patients living in Halloween, Ronk and Nouvelle-en-Verean, two neighboring towns, “Especially in young women, without exposure to genetic factors or dangerous behavior.” The closure of the old crematorium in 2002 was still on people’s minds. Four years ago, Danone discovered dioxins in the cow’s milk it bought from farmers on Halloween. They had to slaughter sixteen head of cattle. The scenario repeated itself at the end of 2001. The new fees led the authorities to ban the marketing of vegetables grown in the area, as well as the marketing of milk and eggs.

Equipped with smoke filtration systems and analyzes for dioxin emissions within regulatory limits, the new incinerator for the Energy Recovery Center went live the following year, in 2003, and in theory had everything to reassure residents after such a shock. But, on Halloween, we’re always wary of smoke.
“Stop eating local produce”
Because he was regularly questioned about cancer cases in his town, Jean-Christophe Destaylor called for an epidemiological study to be carried out and a cancer registry to be opened. appreciate “Only a reliable statistical tool can confirm or invalidate our concerns” He talks about fifty cases “For those who have questions about its nature, as well as the young age of the patients.” He also asks about the breast milk tests “Because there hasn’t been any information on her for twenty years.” ! In early August, he wrote to the Regional Health Authority (ARS) “In order to find out whether our cancer rates are higher than anywhere else”. Dioxins, classified as carcinogens, are persistent organic pollutants in the environment. They are produced during combustion processes, accumulate in the food chain and are included in the list of chemical compounds of the highest importance of the World Health Organization. “So I didn’t understand that Halloween wasn’t included in the national study of crabs near burning plants that was started by the Institute for Health Watch in 2005.” And Dr. Lefevre is still surprised.
