The former Snem factory in Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis) is under fire from critics.

Several residents filed a complaint for "endangering the lives of others" this summer.

They accuse the municipality of having launched demolition work at the end of June on this industrial site without respecting public security measures, says

Le Parisien

on Tuesday.

The neighborhood would be polluted with chromium 6 and chlorinated solvents.

Pollution sensors required

"There is no rigor, no transparency on the depollution protocol," denounced a resident who filed a complaint on July 18.

Residents request additional analyzes before continuing the work.

This metal processing plant had closed in 2018 in the face of the mobilization of parents of students.

It must give way to a building of 36 apartments.

The president of the Office public de l'habitat montreuillois (OPHM) defended himself, assuring that the ten pollution sensors had recorded nothing.

"If necessary, we will ask for additional sensors," he said.
