THE FREE TERRITORY OF TRIESTE BETWEEN ITALIAN CHEMICAL WEAPONS AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE
There is a very serious aspect of the environmental pollution, actually the poisoning, of the Free Territory of Trieste. It was hidden with lots of waste in this little State by its own criminal administering authorities.
It is a top-secret topic, because it revolves on an outright war action committed by Italian authorities, shielded behind their usual, anachronistic nationalism.
they used the Free Territory of Trieste and its international Free Port as storage and disposal site of most of the huge Italian chemical and biological arsenal inherited after two World Wars.
Drums full of chemicals and biologic substances require areas that grant maximum security. For instances, places beyond the control of regular authorities. Areas like Trieste’s Free Port, especially those under direct military authority (established taking advantage of Italy’s role in NATO).
The drums were transported especially by sea, exploiting Trieste’s Port and using it as the traffic’s logistics base. From the Free Port, part of this ‘burning” material was then redistributed on the whole territory. Be it military depots for storage (take the Montedoro hills) or landfills, to disappear forever.
For this purpose verve the huge landfills opened by Italy in the present-day Free Territory of Trieste, from the Karst to the sea. Landfills in the bowels of the Karst, where hundreds of caves were “sacrificed” for reasons of State, while maritime landfills appeared in the Gulf of Trieste, landfills everywhere, hidden, or actually, “camouflaged”.
Because on top of those deadly areas, colluded local authorities allowed the construction of industrial zones, malls, bathing resorts. Exposing even more directly the people to the effects of pollution and to all other substances dumped in the environment LINK.
At the same time, underwater landfills, made of chemical weapons, played a key role in devastating the ecosystem of the Gulf of Trieste, extending their severe consequences on bordering and neighbour States (Slovenia and Croatia) LINK.
Consequences which mean degenerative diseases, which affect undefended people, as happens in the town of Trebiciano – Trebče LINK. Cancer rates are increasing in Trieste. Indeed, if people are exposed to deadly pollutants, still largely unknown, what else is to be expected?
But it is not easy investigating this dangerous pollution, because the local Italian authorities have no interest in revealing such an inconvenient truth.
This is how in a Trieste devastated by this environmental disaster, all public authorities, obsequious to the “superior” orders of those who have approved this crime of State, avoid facing an environmental question that means also settling scores with Italian authorities in the Free Territory of Trieste.

Deaths per 1000 inhabitants in each Province: Trieste has one of the highest death rates.
There are many cancers and respiratory diseases.
