"A few steps from the popular sports facilities of the Ferrini Company in Terramaini, along Viale Marconi in Cagliari , an illegal landfill of waste of all kinds is growing little by little, including building debris probably containing asbestos, a carcinogenic material, dangerous for the health and the environment ".

The complaint is made by the ecological association Gruppo d'Intervento Giuridico , which collected a report from some citizens, then forwarded it - accompanied by an application for environmental remediation to the Municipality of Cagliari and the Forestry Corps .

Of particular concern is the presence of asbestos.

"The asbestos debris - recalls the association - consist of a mixture of cement and asbestos, which can release asbestos fibers if abraded, perforated, brushed or if deteriorated, with serious consequences for the health of the people who come to contact (in fact, it has been shown that even very low exposure to asbestos dust can induce a specific lung tumor, the so-called pleural mesothelioma) ".

For this the association urges the competent authorities to reclaim the area as soon as possible.
