Question 39326 — health

Summary

Mrs. Sira Sylla questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the fire at the Lubrizol factory (classified Seveso “high threshold”) located on the left bank of Rouen, which occurred on September 26, 2019, which had created and still raises serious concerns regarding the potential repercussions on health on the part of citizens and certain health professionals. The Government was therefore committed to diligently, initially from March 2020, a long-term epidemiological study concerning the populations of some 216 municipalities (including 112 in Seine-Maritime) having been exposed to the smoke plume. Ms. Agnès Buzyn, then Minister of Solidarity and Health, clarified, during her hearing before the ad hoc information mission of the National Assembly, on January 15, 2020, the future organization of epidemiological monitoring of populations by Public Health France. Among the measures included monitoring health indicators over time in order to identify a possible excess occurrence of serious pathologies which was to start in July 2020. However, the representatives of the members of the Union of Victims of Lubrizol alerted the MP to the fact that this long-term monitoring measure had still not been put in place. Furthermore, a call for tenders launched by Public Health France more than six years ago months, for a health study and a register to be carried out to measure in the long term the possible effects of the fire at the Lubrizol factory, has still not been completed. Indeed, a team of researchers and doctors from Rouen University Hospital responded to the call for tender; However, Public Health France has not yet responded. This team is, therefore, still waiting. The establishment of a health register listing cancers and malformations, particularly for newborns, is very important in Seine-Maritime given the number of Seveso classified sites active in this department. She questions him about the timetable for deploying these measures to monitor the health of citizens.
