In the Samara region, the oncoepidemiological situation is unfavorable, but on the list of regions with an extremely unfavorable situation, all regions except one have soft or very soft drinking water. In Novokuybyshevsk, the incidence of cancer is in 5th place in the region.
“The incidence of malignant neoplasms in the cities of Samara (507.3), Chapaevsk (479.6), Togliatti (475.0), Syzran (470.4), Novokuibyshevsk (465.0) turned out to be significantly higher than in other territories… “(p.12). Although Samara and Togliatti drink both from the Volga and artesian water, and in Syzran and Chapaevsk there is artesian water, but it is softer than Novokuybyshevsk! And the most prosperous city in the region in terms of cancer incidence is Oktyabrsk, where the water is artesian and hard (albeit softer than ours), but there are no chemical production facilities. Novokuybyshevsk, with its hard water and emissions from factories, lags behind cities with soft water in terms of cancer incidence, so why are they scaring us? The situation in rural areas is more indicative. Let’s bring together data on health risk factors, as well as statistics on neoplasms from the report of Rospotrebnadzor for the Samara region (“On the state of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population in the Samara region in 2021” – https://63.rospotrebnadzor.ru/documents/10156/0/ ), which states: “The main indicators of pollution of groundwater, exploited aquifers in the city. Samara, Syzran, Chapaevsk, Novokuibyshevsk and in the areas of Bezenchuksky, Kinelsky, Syzransky, Volzhsky, Shentalinsky are mineralization, hardness, sulfates, chlorides.” It is also noted that “the causes of groundwater pollution are mainly the influx of substandard natural waters due to violation of the operating regime of water intakes”).
The situation regarding cancer incidence is as follows: those who drink non-artesian soft water, Borsky (with one additional risk factor) and the quite prosperous Neftegorsky districts occupy 4th and 6th places, respectively. Those who drink “terrible” hard water and have one additional risk factor each, the Volzhsky and Shentalinsky districts occupy 24th and 25th places, and the very prosperous Kamyshlinsky district with artesian water closes the list – 26th place out of 26 (among villages), that is, the incidence of cancer there is the lowest. And here statistics refutes the danger of hard water. But if we assume that the incidence of these diseases depends on the hardness of the water, then, by extending Samara water to us, they want to bring the incidence rate to Samara? What is this, an experiment? It turns out that water from an improved source (WHO) is being exchanged for water from a dirty source (SP), pipes and appliances will deteriorate even more, in dry years the regions of the Lower Volga will suffer more due to low water, and we will probably get sick more . So what is the real meaning of this? Leave us our clean water! We don’t need to add phenol with petroleum products, and even toxic chlorine! We’ve had enough of our dirty air! Exclude Novokuibyshevsk from the “Clean Water” project and include it in the Federal “Clean Air” project, aimed at improving the environmental situation and reducing emissions of pollutants into the air. Federal funds are also allocated there. Hear us! We are never asked about anything, our opinion is not taken into account! We shout: “We are suffocating!” – they don’t hear us. We ask: “Bring back the beach on the Volga so that you can leave the city to breathe” – they don’t hear us. We beg: “Establish city medicine, you can’t get to the doctors!” – they don’t hear us. Hear us at least now! Us, residents of Novokuibyshevsk, taxpayers and voters.
Leave artesian water to Novokuybyshevsk!
