Opinión semanal: Impacto de la Contaminación Ambiental en la Salud

By Yamandú Bermúdez – Director of Radio Activa Florida

Es indiscutible que la contaminación ambiental representa una amenaza real para nuestra salud. A pesar de las múltiples advertencias y evidencias presentadas en ocasiones anteriores, parece que muchos continúan minimizando su gravedad. Instituciones públicas, organizaciones privadas y quienes tienen el deber de informar no están asumiendo adecuadamente su responsabilidad.

En áreas como la zona de la curtiembre, ¿podemos realmente decir que no hay un impacto directo en la salud de sus habitantes? Es esencial reconocer la realidad: al quemar neumáticos, se liberan diversos compuestos tóxicos, entre los que se incluyen el monóxido de carbono, óxidos de azufre, óxidos de nitrógeno, hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos (HAP) y dioxinas. Estos compuestos no sólo dañan el medio ambiente, sino que también tienen efectos perjudiciales en nuestra salud, provocando desde irritaciones en la piel y ojos hasta complicaciones respiratorias.

La inacción es tan peligrosa como la contaminación misma. Todos, sin excepción, somos parte del problema, pero también podemos ser parte de la solución. Es hora de actuar, de ser conscientes y de asumir nuestra responsabilidad.

¡Únete a la causa y hagamos del mundo un lugar más seguro y saludable para todos!

Radio Activa Florida

In 2014, a group of people got together to form the ACTIVA Group with the aim of responding to a call from the Ministry of Education and Culture for the granting of a shared radio frequency. We were a diverse group, with different backgrounds and experiences, but united by the same mission: to bring a unique and interdisciplinary approach to resource development at the neighborhood level. We knew that through collaboration, we could make a real difference in the lives of individuals and communities. Therefore, we present a project to develop it in the Corralón del Tigre Town getting their approval. Said communication project called Radio Activa It is a space oriented to neighborhood communication, promoting information for reflection in all areas of social interest, through the participation of different local, national and international actors, trying to facilitate the participation of the community. This Project, which dates back to 2014, has been reformulated based on the experiences lived and the knowledge that is acquired day by day in contact with the neighborhood reality.

The ACTIVA Group is now an established organization, we have formed an Active Civil Organization (CSO) 2014 whose authorities are Yamandú Bermudez president, Marcelo Aguilar secretary and Juan Manuel Lamanita as a member with their respective alternates as well as the corresponding commissions that are a requirement for a CSO.

The creation of the OSC It is a condition established by the Ministry of Industry and Energy for the passage from Shared Frequency Radio to Common Frequency.

Today, with the process underway, we begin a new phase of communication of the needs, interests and problems of the community, with information as a basic element. We do not have any commercial purpose and we intend to maintain the best communication standards through donations and other collaborations. Our goal is to create learning experiences that are inspiring and engaging, and that have a positive impact on the community. We take pride in our work and strive to continue to develop innovative tools and resources. By combining our knowledge and our passion, we are confident that we can create meaningful and lasting change.
