The news, which appeared on all national and local newspapers, and those who throw and create concern and anxiety is to touch an area that seemed to have found an alternative, in addition to renewable energy sources (sun, wind, water, etc..), to end - or at least reduce - not only the dependence on traditional (oil, natural gas and petroleum in all cases all) but to establish virtuous paths for reducing pollution and address the expenditure burden substantially on already scarce resources of Italian households.
is the discovery (following a line of investigation started by the prosecution the Republic of Aosta), in Tuscany and in particular in the province of Florence, in the presence of lots of trade "pellet" radioactive - the presence of "cesium 137" - imported from Lithuania where he was made to feel the effect of the disaster the Chernobyl nuclear power plant which clearly and obviously also affected forests.
To better understand the issue to our readers should explain that the "pellet" is a fuel made from compressed sawdust and then dried in the form of small cylinders with a diameter of few millimeters. The binding capacity of lignin - the existing wood - allows obtaining a compact material without adding special chemicals or additives simple. Result, a fuel high-yield, thanks to the press, has a calorific value twice the wood (even if it affects the percentage of hardwood used in origin). The pellet stoves and boilers used in the latest generation can replace traditional wood logs. This provides a number of improvements from the environmental, energy management and heating systems.
It 'easy to understand how the discovery of "cesium 137" in these materials for the greatest concern, not only for the bond with the sad story of Chernobyl, but the simple fact that the effects more and more dangerous to health are related to the disposal of ash and smoke, so it is to question one of the most innovative energy sources (although in fact it's back to the old and traditional systems than once) that had aroused so much hope and enthusiasm in the people and the real estate operators.
is to be hoped that the story is limited to one company and import the product from a nuclear disaster area hit by a huge and never forgotten. If not, is seriously undermined one of the possibilities of contributing to environmental improvement and cost reduction; dims the attention and interest of citizens / consumers against a method used for millennia, but certainly innovative equipment and methodologies for the optimization of the fuel. It 'too much to ask to leave at least some hope?
