00:00The principle of this initiative comes from the fact that we have faced the problem that
00:09in the face of scientific research and medical care that allow a better quality of life,
00:17an extension and in some cases healing, which at one time were not possible even in the field
00:23of leukemia, today, however, is accompanied by an increase year after year of the plethora
00:29of those who suffer from these diseases and therefore, in the end, the balance, despite
00:34the progress, is always negative.
00:36We then faced the problem of how to live longer, but to live well, not to live longer
00:44through paths that no one wishes for, but which now affect almost all our
00:51families.
00:52There is no family that does not find itself having to deal with these diseases.
00:57It is said that it is the disease of the century.
00:59It is probably the disease of the century.
01:01The problem is that this is not a blessing.
01:04It is related to what is called the era of Anthropocene.
01:10What is the era of Anthropocene?
01:12They are the human activities that take place through the production of energy from fossil
01:18resources, through industrialized agriculture, through the pollution of the air, water and
01:25soil, which determine significant impacts not only on people, but also on the environment
01:31in which we live.
01:33So, from the soil polluted by the fall of pollutants, or polluted water, or industrial
01:39agriculture, we have productions.
01:41From the point of view of food quality, which we then find at our table, rich in pesticides.
01:47The rest is our country.
01:49It is the number one country in Europe for the use of phytopharmaceuticals.
01:53But we must also remember that Italy is the most polluted country in Europe in terms
01:59of air pollution.
02:01The European Environment Agency, with the 2022 survey, says that 570,000 Europeans have
02:09a precocious death due to air pollution.
02:15Therefore, the theme today is to be able to make appropriate policies regarding these
02:21polluting sources, to determine an effective reduction that is able to limit the consequent
02:29health risk.
02:31On the other hand, which is also the theme of today's conference, is how we, as citizens,
02:37through appropriate lifestyles, can try to escape or reduce the health risk due to
02:43environmental impact.
