MILANO – British activist fund Bluebell asks for the head of Ilham Kadri, CEO of the Belgian chemical giant Solvay, who his opinion “still does not recognize that the caustic soda plant in Rosignano poses serious socio-environmental risks“, given the spill in the Tyrrhenian Sea of 688 thousand tons of waste processing in the three-year period 2018-2020 only. These are official numbers: in practice, a mountain of pebbles that over the decades have formed the “white beaches” on the coast facing the Tuscan plant, and which contain 88.7 tons of heavy metals such as nickel, chromium, arsenic, including 111 kilograms of mercury.
