“The conclusion about the effectiveness of pitcher Rospotrebnadzor” Petrik filters “for Novgorod’s history has nothing to do” – said today, July 11, correspondent BakuToday The Public Chamber of the Novgorod region Anna Cherepanov, commenting on the results of examination of filters listed on the site office.
“First of all, the site Rospotrebnadzor unpublished opinion of the Federal Research Centre Erisman name under which the agency makes its Onishchenko loud statements. This position Rospotrebnadzor I personally do not understand. For those sensitive to the public should be transparent, and it – no. The Center named Erisman comment on the results of studies have also declined. Therefore, to discuss with experts the results is not possible “, – explained the social activist. In addition, in her opinion, “there is no relevance in comparative trials of pitcher filters of different brands, including ZF-5 production company” Holding “Golden Formula”. “” In child care centers Novgorod established “filters Petrick” totally other modifications (ZF- 10C and ZF-20C) “, – stressed Cherepanov.
She recalled that a year ago, Novgorod the public, the parents appealed to the Chief Medical Officer to conduct Onishchenko under public control, integrated and comprehensive studies on the safety and efficacy of precisely those filters that are used in the Novgorod region. “But Mr Onishchenko do not bother to do it. The purpose of the comparative examination today jug-type filters, frankly, incomprehensible. Why should arrange a review competition among manufacturers of filters?” – Said Cherepanov. She stressed that “the comparative tests conducted within the jurisdiction of filters Rospotrebnadzor institution, so to speak about the independence of expertise, we certainly can not.” “Do not be surprised if other filter manufacturers, research institutes, laboratories will carry out counter-expertise and get different results. Then everything will start over again,” – said social activist.
Cherepanov also stated that the Novgorod parents in their struggle to dismantle controversial filters of educational institutions in the region did not stop nor the results of this examination, no reaction of President Dmitry Medvedev: July 7, at a meeting of the President’s Council on Human Rights and Civil Society on the question “Petrik filters” in institutions of Novgorod region has raised a member of the Public Chamber of Russia Elena Nikolaeva. The President asked not to involve him in this debate: “Can pro” filters Petrick, “I will not say anything? Because, of course, the president of our country should do everything, including the” filters Petrick, “but let us never will. Moreover, there is their ardent supporters, just followers. Yes, absolutely’m serious. And there are those who think that it’s absolutely of the devil “- said Medvedev. “Novgorod children certainly no apologists” Petrik filters “are not, they do not know this word,” – said Anna Cherepanov. She said that parents of Novgorod will continue to seek an end to the use of “filters Petrick” in kindergartens and schools of the Novgorod region and under public control, in-depth examination of these filters on the safety and efficacy. “At the present time considering options for undertaking such studies,” – said social activist.
Recall June 1, 2010 Novgorod parents sent an open letter to the Governor Sergei Mitin on the dismantling of “filters Petrick” in kindergartens and schools in the Novgorod region. Governor’s personal response was not forthcoming, but in the Novgorod school conducted several tests of water quality, including a study commissioned by Rospotrebnadzor of the regional administration and examination of the analytical center of monitoring water quality, “ROSA” (Moscow) at the request of the public. Studies have shown different results: for example, independent examination discovered a high content of filtered water silver, lead and zinc. Federal Service reported that the water after the filter complies in all respects.
In February 2011, at a meeting with the Council on the development of civil society and human rights defenders gave a collective appeal to President Medvedev inhabitants of Novgorod region with a request to halt the experiment on children and dismantle the “filters Petrick” in kindergartens and schools in the Novgorod region. The President instructed the Attorney General’s Office investigate. Any information on the completion of such testing do not have public figures, and the filters continue to operate.
