On behalf of ‘Plataforma frenem la contaminació’, on air quality in the Grau area of Castellón, Valencia  

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner indicates that the Serrallo industrial area, with a number of petrochemical and energy undertakings and considered as one of the three most important petrochemical hubs in the Mediterranean, is located in the immediate vicinity of the Grau de Castelló and Almassora residential areas. In addition, works have recently started for the expansion of the adjacent southern docks to facilitate the loading and unloading of aggregates. The petitioner fears that this could further aggravate the atmospheric pollution currently already afflicting local residents.
