The toxic compounds that tires generate in the environment and the community when they are incinerated or caused by a fire, can be the cause of serious diseases.

This was explained by Héctor Jorquera, academic from the Department of Chemical Engineering and Bioprocesses of the Pontificia Universidad Católica and a specialist in atmospheric pollution, who indicated that “high concentrations of smoke produce risks and short- and long-term effects, such as respiratory diseases and in the worst case, cancer ”.

Some compounds from tires such as polycyclic hydrocarbons are considered toxic to human health, which added to soot and high concentrations of smoke can cause irreparable damage.

Por ello, Hidronor brinda asesorías y servicios para el correcto acondicionamiento, almacenamiento y final waste disposal, logrando la prevención adecuada para evitar que se generen daños al medio ambiente.
