For over a year, in Santo Domingo Port Sansouci (Colonial Zone), a barge moors here processing pitch, the raw material used for the production of asphalt. The processing of this substance, performed at high temperatures leads to the emission of highly toxic gases series with dire consequences for the health of people.
