According to him, "it was necessary to make a first blood test called 'white', in the first 21 days after exposure on Lubrizol.This is the second blood test, which will take place at 30 days, which will show us if yes or no, there are things that have passed through the blood, in the kidneys, and that will show us the problem of exposure to something toxic on the site of Lubrizol ".
Not enough materials or protections

Line 1
Fully agree. #Castaner should draw all the consequences and deliver tonight to Justice! #Pompiers
Line 2
The violence suffered by our firefighters is unspeakable. And I will never accept that they are trivialized or passed over in silence.
We will launch a major awareness campaign in September 2019.
