Fire at the Lubrizol plant in Rouen: at least five firefighters have "disturbed liver tests"

At least five firefighters who intervened on the fire Lubrizol plant in Rouen, have "disturbed liver assessments" in the liver or kidneys, reported Wednesday, October 16 France Bleu Normandie. The 900 firefighters mobilized on the fire are closely monitored by doctors and have performed blood tests.

"It's not alarming at all, what you really need to see is how many [firefighters] are going to be impacted at the second blood test," says Chris Chislard, spokesperson for SDIS 76, attached by France Bleu.

According to him, "it was necessary to make a first blood test called 'white', in the first 21 days after exposure on Lubrizol.This is the second blood test, which will take place at 30 days, which will show us if yes or no, there are things that have passed through the blood, in the kidneys, and that will show us the problem of exposure to something toxic on the site of Lubrizol ".

Not enough materials or protections

Three weeks after the factory fire, many questions remain about the health and environmental consequences. Lubrizol producing automotive lubricants, the products that burned are chemicals. The prefecture has published nearly 500 fact sheets on the characteristics of these products.

Concerns persist about their dangerousness. "All firefighters did not receive the paper masks in time when the fire was extinguished on site, in the late afternoon on the day of the incident." Similarly, we do not have enough masks with filter cartridges available ", had for example indicated Mathieu Gibassier, general secretary of the CGT of Sdis 76." The numbers were insufficient at the start of the disaster.It was difficult to be supplied with clothing.There was a lot of demerde.

Line 1
Fully agree. #Castaner should draw all the consequences and deliver tonight to Justice! #Pompiers
Line 2
The violence suffered by our firefighters is unspeakable. And I will never accept that they are trivialized or passed over in silence.
We will launch a major awareness campaign in September 2019.


Confrontation between #pompiers and police: a CRS union presents "a thousand excuses" Too easy to apologize after beating, it would have been easier to REFUSE orders #MiliceDétat#ViolencesPolicieres
