\u00bfQu\u00e9 es Koppers?<\/h2>\n

Koppers es una planta qu\u00edmica situada en el lado sur de Pershing Road, en la frontera entre Cicero y S<\/span>tickney. La planta se inaugur\u00f3 en 1922 y lleva m\u00e1s de 100 a\u00f1os funcionando en Cicero. Convierte los residuos de alquitr\u00e1n crudo procedentes de la producci\u00f3n de acero y el refinado de petr\u00f3leo en alquitr\u00e1n refinado, aceites qu\u00edmicos y creosota, un l\u00edquido amarillo y pegajoso que suele utilizarse como conservante para tratar la madera contra termitas, hongos y otras plagas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Durante d\u00e9cadas, los vecinos han luchado contra la planta por la contaminaci\u00f3n atmosf\u00e9rica que emite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

\u00bfQu\u00e9 sustancias qu\u00edmicas libera la planta al aire y son nocivas?<\/h2>\n

Koppers emite varios tipos de lo que se conoce como \"compuestos org\u00e1nicos vol\u00e1tiles\", o gases peligrosos que pueden causar problemas de salud a corto plazo y cr\u00f3nicos. Koppers contamina m\u00e1s que ning\u00fan otro lugar del condado de Cook dos tipos de estos gases: naftalina y benceno.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

El naftaleno, un producto qu\u00edmico utilizado en pesticidas, puede provocar dolores de cabeza y mareos.<\/span>. La EPA<\/span> clasifica el naftaleno<\/span><\/a> como sustancia qu\u00edmica posiblemente cancer\u00edgena. Sin embargo, el estado de California ha clasificado la naftalina como una sustancia de la que se sabe que causa c\u00e1ncer<\/span> desde 2002<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

El benceno, por su parte, es uno de los<\/span> carcin\u00f3genos m\u00e1s utilizados y peligrosos en EE.UU.<\/span><\/a> Reconocible por su<\/span> dulce aroma en las gasolineras<\/span><\/a>El benceno est\u00e1 muy extendido<\/span> investigado<\/span><\/a>con v\u00ednculos con la leucemia y otros c\u00e1nceres de la sangre.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Koppers refuta las infracciones medioambientales m\u00e1s recientes, pero los registros de la planta revelan dos d\u00e9cadas de enfrentamientos con la EPA de Illinois<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u00bfEst\u00e1n autorizadas legalmente a liberar sustancias qu\u00edmicas que pueden provocar c\u00e1ncer u otros problemas de salud?<\/h2>\n

Las leyes medioambientales federales y estatales no impiden que los contaminadores emitan al aire sustancias qu\u00edmicas que causan c\u00e1ncer u otros problemas de salud. En cambio, estas leyes ponen un l\u00edmite a la cantidad de esos contaminantes que pueden liberarse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Los expertos afirman que los niveles de contaminaci\u00f3n que fija la EPA de Illinois no protegen necesariamente a todos los habitantes de una comunidad determinada. En recientes infracciones, Koppers tambi\u00e9n ha sido acusada por la EPA de Illinois de sobrepasar los l\u00edmites de contaminaci\u00f3n permitidos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 hace el Gobierno para ayudar?<\/h2>\n

La EPA de Illinois ha emitido m\u00e1s de 50 infracciones contra Koppers desde el a\u00f1o 2000, intentando corregir los problemas medioambientales de la planta. En 2021 y 2022, la EPA de Illinois remiti\u00f3 el caso a la oficina del fiscal general de Illinois, pidi\u00e9ndole que emprendiera acciones legales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Los fiscales del Estado podr\u00edan imponer sanciones econ\u00f3micas, presentar una demanda contra Koppers o incluso cerrar temporal o permanentemente la planta.<\/span><\/p>\n

No est\u00e1 claro qu\u00e9 est\u00e1n haciendo los funcionarios locales, si es que est\u00e1n haciendo algo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Funcionarios de la ciudad de Cicero y el pueblo de Stickney no respondieron a m\u00faltiples solicitudes de comentarios de <\/span>Cicero Independiente<\/span><\/i> y MuckRock. Despu\u00e9s de MuckRock y el <\/span>Independiente<\/span><\/i> public\u00f3 su primera investigaci\u00f3n sobre Koppers en diciembre, la empresa contrat\u00f3 a una empresa de comunicaci\u00f3n de crisis para que se reuniera con los cargos electos locales, respondiera a las preguntas sobre la historia y creara un grupo consultivo comunitario para hacer frente a las consecuencias.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pero no se ha hecho p\u00fablico nada sobre estas reuniones o el panel comunitario.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 puedo hacer para reducir mi exposici\u00f3n a contaminantes nocivos y enterarme de lo que ocurre en Koppers?<\/h2>\n

Si percibe malos olores en el exterior y vive cerca de la planta de Koppers, lo m\u00e1s seguro que puede hacer es entrar en casa y cerrar las ventanas, dicen los expertos. Tambi\u00e9n puede <\/span>presentar una denuncia por contaminaci\u00f3n a la EPA de Illinois en l\u00ednea<\/span><\/a>. Si cree que se trata de una emergencia, llame a la Agencia de Gesti\u00f3n de Emergencias de Illinois al 800-782-7860.<\/span><\/p>\n

Para estar al d\u00eda de las infracciones y asuntos de Koppers, puedes seguir el bolet\u00edn de Muckrock o Cicero Independiente a trav\u00e9s de Instagram @ciceroindependiente.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t
