The care of the environment is the most important aspect of Transur S.A.

That is why we commit ourselves to better it, take care of it, and protect it for the future of the economy in which we live in and work for.

USEFUL INFORMATION:

The residue caused by human activity is a big factor in the pollution and contamination of the environment.

Forms of residue and their respective definitions:

a) Urban or Domestic Residue
b) Medical Residue (hospitals, dentists, clinics, etc.)
c) Industrial Residue
c1- Concerning urban areas
c2- Inert ones
c3-Toxic o dangerous
d) Radioactive Residue

a)Urban Residue:

They constitute a heterogeneous type of residue, capable or not of rotting. Their quantity and quality depends on various factors: climate, position, social, economic, etc.

Their generation contains various factors, but for the most part a greater economical development, and a greater amount of inert materials (cans, glass, and carton, ect.)

b)Medical Residue:

They are all wasted o materials a solid, semisolid, liquid, or gaseous state that present toxic and/or biologically activated characteristics.
These may directly or indirectly affect human beings and cause the contamination of the ground, water, or atmosphere. They are generated by the medical attention to patients (diagnostics, treatment, immunization of services to human beings and animals), as well as in the investigation and/or commercial production of biological elements.

c)Industrial Residue:

Industries are the biggest producers of solid residue.

The residue directed at the urban sections (food industry, organic residues) and the inert residue there does not exist a major problem. The same is not true for toxic or dangerous waste, such as the ones which are inflammable, reactive, corrosive, smelly, infectious, ect. Which deserve extreme care and caution.
They can cause numerable damages to the natural resources, especially terrestrial and underground water. They are also extremely poisonous to man.

d)Radioactive Residue:

They are a major problem for their radioactivity can last for hundreds to thousands of years, depending on the material they are made of. The residue comes from mineral extraction, from the large centers of generation and from the numerous centers of investigation and application such a clinics and hospitals.

The inhabitants of the province have the right to enjoy a healthy environment and the duty to conserve and protect for their benefit and for the benefit of future generations…

The province exerts an eminent control over the environment and the natural resources of its territory, including underground and air space, territorial waters, continental platform, and the natural resources of the exclusive economic zone, with the objective to assure an adequate environmental status.

As far as ecological material is concerned, the state must preserve, recuperate, and conserve the natural resources, renewable or not in the territory of the Province; control all the environmental impact of all activities the damage the ecosystem; promote actions that avoid air contamination, as well as water and soil; prohibit the incoming of toxic or radioactive wastes into the territory; and guarantee the right to partake in the defense of the environment, and of the natural and cultural resources.

In the same manner, the state must assure methods of conservation and recuperation of the quality of water, air, and land, compatible to the maintaining of its physical integrity and productive capacity, and the safekeeping of waters with ecological importance, of flora, and of fauna.

All person whose action or denial to act may harm the environment is forced to take precautions in order to avoid doing so.
