The Association of residents of industrial sites in the Bbadin Lacq (Arsi), in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, filed a complaint Friday against the pharmaceutical group Sanofi and the authorities in charge of the control of the group's factory in Mourenx, whose production was suspended Monday because of toxic discharges.
The complaint for "endangering others and administering harmful substances" was sent by mail to the public prosecutor of the public health center of the Paris prosecutor's office, told AFP the lawyer of the badociation, Me Jean-François Blanco.
According to the complaint, the quantities of releases issued by Sanofi in October 2017 showed bromopropane emissions of more than 180 grams per cubic meter, whereas the limit set by a prefectural decree of June 2009 was 2 mg / m3.
"Despite this, manufacturing did not been interrupted ", d laments Me Blanco. "The rejections would have even worsened because according to new measures transmitted in March 2018 to the administration, it is reported a concentration of the product to 300 grams per m3 or 190,000 times the limit set by the decree," says
"It is only under the pressure of the media that on July 9, 2018 Sanofi announced the stop of its production in Mourenx", is indignant the lawyer. "This means that for many months Sanofi in Mourenx has been releasing considerable amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including the very dangerous bromopropane," says Blanco.
