The port of Gioia Tauro and the Syrian chemical weapons
Syrian chemical weapons - more than a thousand tons of toxic substances useful for manufacturing among other nerve agents - should arrive in a few days in the port of Gioia Tauro, where they will be moved from ship to ship cargo Ark Futura U.S. laboratory Cape Ray (photo) . The latter , in turn, will lead off the coast of Crete and the will to make them subsequently disposed of . This operation is very high risk , so much so that other European nations, who often in the past have dealt with the disposal of this type , have categorically refused the assignment. We refer to Germany, France, Albania and other Italian regions of Puglia , Sardinia and Liguria. Experts say that the Mediterranean has been chosen to make the operation safer . Indeed , in the case of a closed sea , in the event of unexpected , the damage would content , than if it happened in the middle of an ocean . But what can be the damage caused by unexpected ? Disastrous. In case you were to blow up the entire load , would be contaminated area 180 thousand square kilometers. If only one bin containing nerve gas weapons were to fall into the sea , cause the death of fish for tens of kilometers. If a human being were to breathe the gas would remain just twenty minutes of life . The operation of chemical weapons in Calabria, seems to be a real violation of the most elementary rules of respect for democracy . Beyond the violation of international conventions which determine the of not transit of chemical weapons in any territory , there is a problem in the method of disposal of chemical weapons : electrolysis, also in the sea , would lead to environmental disaster of major proportions , especially in the Mediterranean .
