The present investigation determined the presence of endo- and ectoparasites in creole pigs from the Atapos community, province of Chimborazo, considering the socio-economic conditions of the population and sanitary management. The 30 Creole pigs, including females and males, were considered using the finite population formula; The survey used closed questions to avoid determining factors of confusion and error; In the coproparasitic analysis, the flotation method was used, in terms of counting gastrointestinal parasites, the McMaster chamber, and for the identification of parasites, the Baerman method. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics: mean, maximum and minimum values and standard deviation. The survey determines that the socioeconomic conditions of the community are low, its agricultural development is stopped in ethnoveterinary practices, therefore the breeding and production of creole pigs takes place in backyards intended for self-consumption and household sustenance. Regarding the presence of gastrointestinal parasites, 7 genders were observed, such as: most frequently Strongyloides ransomi 26.7%; followed by Eimeria sp 20%; Necator americanus and Trichostrongylus axei 16.7%; Ascaris suum 10%; Trichuris suis 6.7% and Cryptosporidium sp 3.3%. No lung parasites were found. The external parasites found in greatest quantity were Ctenocephalides 50%, then Haematopinus 46.70% and Sarcoptes 3.3%. Therefore, it is recommended to implement health programs and training to improve productive rates that boost the economy of the community in general. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Veterinary homeopathy is a therapy that seeks to improve the health of animals in a holistic way, preventing and treating diseases from a comprehensive perspective, and optimizing conditions with adequate nutrition. As an alternative, the use of homeopathic medicines, which are more natural and less polluting than allopathic ones, was proposed. To explore this option, diversified production systems were selected in the municipality of Jamundí, in the department of Valle del Cauca, which aspired to be green businesses. These systems had in common small ruminants, among other species. Objective: To estimate the frequency of use of homeopathic medicines in agribusiness, compared to allopathic medicines in the municipality of Jamundí. Methods: The use of a quantitative approach to carry out a survey in the production systems of Jamundí was described, a questionnaire based on the Likert model was used. The criteria used to choose the production systems are that they had in common the species of small ruminants, that they were registered with the ICA, that they complied with the health regulations, among others, 6 production systems were identified in Jamundí that met all the established requirements. Results and Discussion: Veterinary homeopathy is a therapy that seeks to improve the health of animals in a holistic way, preventing and treating diseases from a comprehensive perspective, and optimizing conditions with adequate nutrition, it was found that 83% valued the benefits of homeopathic medicines for the economy, the environment and society. showing a strong consensus of more than 75% of the respondents with the effective option to improve production systems, since they contributed to reducing costs and increasing profitability and where more than 79% accepted this therapy by offering a preventive and/or curative medicine for animals with a safer protein production. Conclusion: This study highlighted the importance of homeopathy in production systems. Homeopathic medicine improved animal health, ensured food safety, and promoted environmental sustainability. Although it was environmentally friendly and safe, proper training and compliance with standards were required to maximize its benefits in production systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The quality and safety of milk are the most important factors to ensure the competitiveness of cattle farming in any region. Justification: The rural extension project with young implementers of Good Livestock Practices (BPG), allowed to interconnect the SENA training, with the guild (FEDEGAN) and farmers focused on dairy production (Agricultural Cooperative of Tenjo, COLATTE) for the adoption of the regulations in accordance with the guidelines of Safety and GMP contained in Resolution 2341 of 2007 and in accordance with Resolution 68167 of the ICA of May 20, 2020, for the certification of small and medium cooperative livestock producers. Objective: Implement and certify in BPG before the ICA to farms of small milk producers associated COLATTE promoting resource efficiency and agricultural development. Methods: The work was carried out with 7 trainees implementing BPG from the technologist in livestock production who advanced their production stage and cooperating producers from COLATTE in the municipality of Tenjo during the period of October 2023 and March 2024. A technical committee was organized to construct basic procedures manuals and accompanying schedules for 63 sites that adopted GBPs. In the first diagnostic visit, Form 3-852 was applied to determine the degree of compliance with the criteria Fundamental (F), Major (My) and Minor (Mn). A contingency plan was drawn up in order to increase compliance by scheduling follow-up and monitoring visits to the 42 priority sites to reach the minimum requirements: (F) 100%, (My) 85% and (Mn) 60%. BPG audit was requested from the ICA certifying body. Results and Discussion: 3 audit sessions were held: 2 in December and 1 in March for certification of BPG to 30 livestock farms. 28 sites obtained certification with average compliance for the fundamental criteria of 100%, higher 89% and lower 69%. Conclusion: The association group manages to certify in BPG 28 farms of small producers, constituting as a reference in sustainable livestock production at regional and national level.

Este artículo se aproxima a la última epidemia de cólera vivida por Barcelona en el siglo XIX, desde planteamientos analíticos e interpretativos relacionados con dos períodos. En primer término, se explorará el contexto en que la ciudad se vio amenazada por la posible introducción de la enfermedad y por la declaración epidémica tras la presentación de unos primeros casos aislados, poniéndose énfasis no sólo en las medidas preventivas establecidas por las autoridades locales, sino también en los planes de reordenamiento institucional que entonces se pensaron como necesarios para la mejora generalizada de la salud pública urbana a medio plazo. En segundo lugar, se estudiará la coyuntura inmediatamente anterior y coincidente con el desarrollo de la epidemia, observando tres escenarios específicos. En este sentido, se atenderá a los planes de contención diseñados por los organismos sanitarios, a la incidencia poblacional y socioespacial de la afección y a las diferentes actitudes y comportamientos presentados entre el vecindario. En última instancia, se generará una contraposición entre la resistencia activa y la solidaridad colectiva o el auxilio mutuo que podían detectarse durante el embate del cólera.

Las medidas de prevención y control sanitario en sistemas productivos piscícolas de tilapia son un reto para los pequeños productores campesinos en Colombia. El objetivo de este trabajo consistió en identificar in situ el estado sanitario de pequeños centros de producción de tilapia en el municipio de San Carlos, Antioquia. Se realizaron análisis macro y microscópico de 140 peces, se tomaron muestras de los principales órganos y se evaluó Streptococcus agalactiae, S. iniae, y Edwardsiella tarda a través de pcr. Se tomaron tres peces por producción y se determinó la presencia de Escherichia coli en filete. Además, se evaluó la concentración de oxígeno disuelto, la temperatura, los sólidos totales disueltos, la salinidad, la conductividad, el pH y la presencia microbiológica de E. coli y coliformes totales en agua. Por su parte, los hallazgos macroscópicos evidenciaron anormalidades en ojos, riñón posterior e hígado. Los microorganismos hallados fueron: monogéneos (53,9 %), tricodínidos (29,1 %) y Epistylis (7,8 %). Los peces con monogéneos presentaron un peso y una longitud mayor que aquellos negativos (p = 0,017 y 0,045, respectivamente) y lesiones en branquias en mayor proporción (rp = 1,56, ic95 % 1,17-2,06, p = 0,006). La presencia de tricodínidos presentó una relación estadísticamente significativa con el pH, la conductividad y la concentración de sal, además, las pruebas moleculares fueron negativas. La información generada puede utilizarse para plantear acciones zootécnicas y sanitarias para mejorar el estatus sanitario de los sistemas productivos de tilapia en San Carlos.

The main objective of this article is to analyze recent changes in attitudes regarding two of the most important pillars of the Spanish public welfare state: pensions and healthcare. The analysis was carried out for the years 2007-2008, prior to the Great Recession, and 2018-2019, following the effects of said crisis. An analytical approach was used to consider a wide range of variables related to self-interest and values, using satisfaction as the dependent variable. The following factors were found to have the greatest influence on levels (and changes) of satisfaction with these public services: a decrease in intergenerational consensus and values related to welfare-system resources, especially in the perception of the sufficient public spending, the willingness to increase this spending and the benefits-payment balance.

Although no important therapeutic discoveries were made, the experience gained in international armed conflicts during the second half of the 19th century transformed military medicine. Major improvements were introduced, including the collection and rapid transportation of the wounded by rail, ambulances, hygiene and asepsis. The founding of non-belligerent charitable organisations enabled the humanitarian treatment of wounded combatants and prisoners. For a series of reasons, which are analysed here, these advances in healthcare were not fully transferred to the two warring sides in the Second Carlist War. Paradoxically, the medical system on the Carlist side, which had to start from scratch, proved more effective and was better equipped than its counterpart in the liberal army. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the beginning of the democratic transformation process in Eastern Europe in the 1990s, governments, international organizations, and civil society have looked at the situation of the roma in Europe. This population group, which centuries ago migrated from Asia to Europe, today lives in different countries, often in precarious conditions. In the context of rapprochement with the European Union, several countries have tried to improve the living conditions of the roma. The objective of this article is to examine the current state of the roma population in Romania through a literature review, with particular attention to their circumstances in education, employment, housing, and healthcare.

Resumen Análisis de la relación entre sanidad y guerra en el contexto de la Guerra de Castas, en Yucatán, México, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. A partir de fuentes cualitativas y cuantitativas, se reconstruyen los principales eventos sanitarios críticos y se plantea que el proceso salud/enfermedad de la época se explica única y necesariamente en relación a variables propias del conflicto, como tráfico de armas, desplazamientos, diásporas y migraciones, falta de alimentos, violencia y caos administrativo.

Introduction: In modern productive systems, the welfare of the animals in the dairy industry has become very important. The Dairy Wellness Profit®, DWP$®, is a genomic index that includes production, fertility, functionality, longevity, calving easy, health, milk quality, and welfare in calves and dams. Objective: Describe the disease events recorded in a dairy herd and compare their frequency with the predicted values of the Dairy Welfare Index. (DWP$). Methods: Data of diseases associated with DWP$ from a Holstein dairy herd between August 2019 and December 2023 located in Oicata, Boyaca, Colombia, were analyzed. DNA was extracted from blood obtained in an FTA card, and the Genotyping was performed in a microchip designed by Zoetis. An index for 11 different diseases was calculated. A specific data sheet was created, and the data were processed using R. Genomic indexes for diseases and farm observations were compared using a confusión matrix method. Results and Discussion: 843 disease events out of 191 animals were recorded, 297 of them were associated with The distribution of disease was: abortion (30.642%), lameness (4.04%), diarrhea of calves (11.78%), hypocalcemia (8.42%), mastitis (34.68%), metritis (7.74%), pneumonía (0.34%), ovarian cysts (1.01%) y placenta retention (1.35%). A significant variation in the values of prevalence and sensitivity (0.18-0.71) positive predicted value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of diseases from the 67 genotyped animals was observed. The model has higher sensitivity to detect healthy animals. Using this model, it is necessary to highlight the interaction between environment, genetics, and health. Conclusion: The results obtained highlight the complexity of the possible relationship between the presentation of diseases and the genomes of individuals. It has shown valuable information for developing management strategies and prevention of diseases adapted to the farmers' needs and applied to the dairy bovine population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: An evaluation was conducted to measure the impact of noise from air operations at El Dorado International Airport on the productivity and health of dairy cattle in the municipality of Funza, Colombia. This experimental study sought to determine if aircraft noise significantly affected milk production, considering various factors such as health and animal welfare. Justification: The evaluation conducted arises from the need to understand how this factor can influence key aspects of dairy production. Given the importance of the livestock industry in the region and the proximity of the airport, it is crucial to understand if aircraft noise significantly affects productive, sanitary, and welfare variables of cattle. Objective: To evaluate the effect of aeronautical noise on productivity and sanitary condition in dairy herds in the municipality of Funza. Methods: The study was conducted in the rural area of the International Airport, in the municipality of Funza, at an altitude of 2,548 meters above sea level. There were 18 stratified dairy farms in 3 groups according to exposure levels (n=6 farms per group): Low (0%-33.3%), Medium (33.3%-66.6%), and High (66.6% -100%), corresponding to low, medium, and high levels of noise exposure, respectively. The evaluated variables were: acoustic measurement, blood count, milk production, and somatic cell count for 5 months. The treatments evaluated were the exposure levels; data were analyzed using ANOVA. Results and Discussion: Higher grazing noise (dB) was observed in the medium and high treatments (68.47 dB - 69.20 dB). Meanwhile, the noise recorded in the milking facilities was higher in the medium treatment (78.67 dB). Milk production was higher in the ranges classified as high and low exposure levels (17.09 L and 15.7 L), respectively, unlike the medium level where the recorded production was lower (10.30 L). The variables red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet variables showed no differences between treatments; the total protein variable showed statistical differences between medium and low treatments. Likewise, the somatic cell content was not affected by noise exposure. Conclusion: It is concluded that exposure to noise during milking may lead to a decrease in milk production; however, it was evidenced that it does not directly affect the health of the cattle, considering the sanitary variables evaluated in the dairy herds.

The increase in phytosanitary problems faced by corn producers in the department of Meta has generated the need to identify the management that each producer carries out on his crop. In this way, it is possible to determine the factors that differentiate producers and the technological gaps that must be overcome in the extension and technical assistance plans, so the objective of this work was to characterize the technified corn production system, from the point of view of phytosanitary management. This work used a sample of 45 producers, selected by stratified random sampling with allocation proportional to the size of the stratum, to whom a survey was applied that allowed grouping by means of principal component analysis, multiple correspondences and conglomerates. With the results obtained, the following typologies were defined: 1) older adult producers with medium farms of high productivity, 2) adult producers with small farms of high productivity, 3) adult producers with small farms of low productivity and 4) adult producers with large farms of medium productivity. The relevant aspects in each typology were defined, allowing the design of work and research plans in the sanitary component of the crop in the region according to each one of them.

The objective of the study was to carry out a situational diagnosis of rainbow trout in the province of Chota, Cajamarca Region. Eighty percent of producers (n=12) were interviewed by means of a survey between November and December 2021. Ninetytwo percent of the respondents were male and the majority had completed secondary education. The main activities developed by the producers are trout farming (67%), agriculture and livestock (33%). More than 50% of the farmers dedicated 5 hours to fish farming, and the trout were raised in concrete ponds. The water supply to the production center comes from the rivers. Nearly 50% of the producers stated that they purchase embryonated eggs from the U.S. The production time ranges from 5 to 6 months. The greatest mortality episodes occur during the dry season and are attributed to oxygen deficiency and water temperature. Ninety-two percent of producers use commercial feed and most feed three times a day without measuring water temperature. The weight of trout for sale ranges from 200 to 250 g and they are sold whole at a price of 15 to 18 soles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We conducted a paleoparasitological study on sediment samples from two trash pits and a cesspool, collected during an archaeological assessment of a building located in the historic downtown of the city of Córdoba, Argentina. People have used these premises for residential and commercial purposes since the beginning of the seventeenth century, although the samples analyzed correspond to nineteenth-century contexts. Light microscopy examination revealed the presence of parasite eggs of whipworm (Trichuris sp.), possibly roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), and tapeworm (taeniid). The presence of these fecal-oral and food-borne transmitted helminths supports other lines of evidence that indicate poor sanitation and hygiene habits and inadequate food processing, which may have contributed to the high incidence and mortality of gastrointestinal diseases recorded at that time. The paleoparasitological data agree with the historical information on the health status of the populations that inhabited the city of Córdoba in the past, especially in relation to their habits and diet.

This study concentrates information from the publications that have described the occurrence of bacterial diseases and the isolation and identification of bacteria from Mexican fish. The research consisted of the systematic search of scientific papers in Pubmed, Scopus and other search engines using the key words: diseases, bacteria, fish, Mexico- in English and Spanish, without date restrictions; information from official institutions was also included. The analysis shows records of isolation and identification of several bacterial genera obtained from both clinically diseased and subclinical fish, with high frequency of opportunistic bacteria and that in the last decade the occurrence of septicemic diseases caused by emerging bacteria has been confirmed. In freshwater environment Flavobacterium psychrophilum, Yersinia spp., Weissella ceti and Lactococcus garviae have caused septicemic disease in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), while Francisella orientalis, Streptococcus iniae and Mycobacterium spp. have affected tilapia (Oreochromis spp.). In the saline environment, Nocardia seriolae is reported as a cause of systemic disease in red croaker (Sciaenops ocellatus). It should be noted that, despite having this information, diseases that affect or have affected fish in the country are not officially reported. To promote the development of fish farming, it is necessary to know and report its health status, in this way risks and opportunities can be identified, and control actions established.

Anualmente, se pierde más del 33 % de las colmenas en el altiplano y el norte de México por varroa (Varroa destructor), debido al uso excesivo de acaricidas sintéticos. Como resultado, las poblaciones de ácaros han desarrollado resistencia. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la caída de ácaros de V. destructor, así como el porcentaje de infestación mediante la aplicación de moliendas botánicas de ajo (Allium sativum), laurel (Laurus nobilis) y orégano (Origanum vulgare) en colonias de Apis mellifera en temporada invernal. Se utilizaron 16 colmenas tipo jumbo, seleccionando cuatro colmenas por tratamiento, donde cada una fue la unidad experimental. Los tratamientos fueron: 1) testigo (sin tratamiento); 2) ajo; 3) laurel, y 4) orégano. Los tratamientos incluyeron azúcar pulverizada (glass) en proporción 1:1 (azúcar: molienda vegetal). Los datos se analizaron mediante un diseño completamente aleatorizado. Se consideró el porcentaje de infestación inicial (covariable) para determinar si afectaba la respuesta a las moliendas (p > 0.05). El laurel presentó el mayor número de ácaros caídos (42.46 ± 12.07). A partir del día siete, los porcentajes de infestación decrecieron, destacando la molienda de laurel (p < 0.01). El grupo de las colmenas testigo presentó una tendencia creciente, con medias superiores al 5 % (5.32 ± 1.16). En la actualidad, se están usando los aceites y extractos botánicos para el tratamiento de plagas y enfermedades de las abejas. Sin embargo, la utilización de moliendas botánicas en la apicultura es limitada, por lo anterior, el uso de estos bioacaricidas representa una alternativa para el control del ácaro V. destructor, ya que son ingredientes de fácil accesibilidad, presentan un bajo costo y una metodología sencilla de elaboración y aplicación. Además, al ser un tratamiento orgánico, garantiza la seguridad ambiental, obteniendo inocuidad en la miel y en subproductos derivados de la colmena.

El mundo está en modo alerta y las economías en modo pausa a consecuencia de los efectos de protección contra el Sars-CoV-2 que ha ocasionado el surgimiento de un nuevo coronavirus llamado Covid-19 y considerado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) como pandemia. Los efectos son totales, pero hay dos aspectos que se han visto atacados de manera extraordinaria: el impacto en los sistemas de salud pública y el impacto en las economías de todos los países del mundo. Durante los meses de enero a julio (2020), se han producido innumerables documentos (noticias, artículos, ensayos, informes, etc.) que dan cuenta del impacto del virus en diferentes aspectos y este es analizado desde distintos enfoques: periodísticos, académicos (diferentes áreas temáticas), políticos, sanitarios y económicos. Por eso, nos interesa abordar el impacto de la pandemia de una manera distinta, desde el problema que se plantea en el título del presente documento: efectos del aislamiento social obligatorio en los inmigrantes extranjeros y desde la identificación de la causa de la causa (construcción de la situación problemática: seis niveles, de abajo hacia arriba) y se procede a la descripción de la situación problemática (seis niveles, de arriba hacia abajo). Entonces, el presente trabajo está organizado teniendo en cuenta los siguientes aspectos: análisis de la coyuntura mundial, pánico del mercado financiero, sanidad pública, emergencia nacional en el Perú, la reorganización (digitalización) de la vida social y el efecto del aislamiento social obligatorio como parte de las políticas restrictivas implementadas en el Perú para luchar contra la expansión del Covid-19 en la población inmigrante extranjera asentada en todo el país.

La pandemia de la COVID-19 ha supuesto un reto para el Estado de derecho. La aplicación del Derecho de excepción regulado en la Constitución ha introducido restricciones a los derechos fundamentales a fin de proteger la salud de los ciudadanos. En este estudio se examinan el alcance y los límites del estado de alarma en España, como una de las tres modalidades de Derecho de excepción previstas en la Constitución y la Ley Orgánica 4/1981, que permite afrontar el reto de la pandemia sin que sea necesaria la suspensión de derechos fundamentales. Desde esta perspectiva se analiza el impacto de las medidas de excepción adoptadas por el Gobierno sobre el ejercicio de algunos derechos fundamentales y la respuesta judicial a los recursos presentados por los ciudadanos, en especial respecto a la libertad de circulación y el derecho de manifestación, además de la libertad de expresión especialmente a través de las redes sociales, y la garantía del derecho de habeas data. En todos estos casos se examina la aplicación del test de proporcionalidad para evaluar el ejercicio y los límites del poder público en la aplicación de las medidas destinadas a garantizar la sanidad pública y su incidencia sobre estos derechos fundamentales.

Hoaxes, health scams, false science, and post-truth have spread widely during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Net has become a huge sphere of telematically connected nodes, a great Sphere of Plato with individuals who live in a cavern of hoaxes and perceive the shadows as if they were the true reality. Analyze the influence of hoaxes, fake news and pseudotherapies on "shadow individuals" and promote the re-education of individuals until they become "citizens" with judgment. Analysis of the situation of dissemination of hoaxes and fake news in the field of Health; analysis of a health hoax; analysis of false scientific publications (baptized as predatory journals) and false scientists. Journalists and communicators in the field of health must resort to quality and accessible scientific sources to communicate authentic science and banish the pseudotherapies from "shadow individuals" so that they become "citizens" free of false beliefs.

Another element that is part of the catalog of buildings that have disappeared in Cieza in recent years is the old health service clinic. A building that was the first medical care center to be established in Cieza in a dignified way for health care since its establishment in Spain and which also functioned as a space for social contact and human relations between the different users who spent many hours in its premises, sheltered by facilities in which they tried to solve medical problems with care and interest on the part of their professionals.

Los métodos clásicos de mejoramiento han estrechado la base genética del arroz. La selección recurrente (SR) permite el mejoramiento de una población, mediante la pirámidación de alelos favorables de diversos donantes y de origen genético diverso. Ha sido usada en Colombia por CIAT/CIRAD, para el desarrollo y el mejoramiento del acervo genético del arroz Oryza sativa L., tipo Japonica Tropical de secano en sabanas ácidas. Se evaluaron en bloques completos al azar, con tres repeticiones, 50 líneas avanzadas junto con el testigo comercial Corpoica Llanura 11. Se observó diferencia significativa entre líneas de arroz para las variables dependientes rendimiento de grano, días a floración, vigor e incidencia de Pyricularia en hojas y cuello, así como manchado de grano. Las líneas 39 y 37, de la población PCT-11, presentaron los mayores rendimientos, con 6,471 y 6,192kg ha-1, respectivamente, diferentes significativamente del testigo y de nueve líneas de ciclo tardío de la población PCT-4, que presentaron rendimientos muy bajos. Especialmente, la línea 39, mostró menor incidencia del hongo Pyricularia en hojas, que el testigo comercial Corpoica Llanura 11. Los presentes resultados muestran la utilidad de la SR en arroz de sabanas, para generar líneas superiores en rendimiento, en resistencia a enfermedades, en adaptación a las sabanas ácidas y el potencial para contribuir a la diversificación de su base genética.

El caso de autos versa sobre la orden de demolición de seis nichos y ocho columbarios prefabricados, sitos en el cementerio de Valsera, contenida en la Resolución de alcaldía, de 15 de marzo de 2019, que consideró vulnerada la normativa sectorial aplicable a su construcción. Esta fue recurrida en reposición por la particular ahora apelante, con resultado desestimatorio, mediante la Resolución de la alcaldía, de 30 de mayo de 2019. La Sala razona acerca de la interpretación y aplicación del artículo 34 del Decreto 72/1998, de 26 de noviembre, por el que se aprueba el Reglamento de Policía Sanitaria Mortuoria en el ámbito del Principado de Asturias a efectos de determinar si las obras de autos suponen una ampliación o, en su caso, una reforma del cementerio. Cuestión que resulta fundamental para conocer el régimen de autorización y los requisitos exigibles a la obra, siendo especialmente relevantes por motivos ambientales las consideraciones sanitarias. De los informes técnicos obrantes en el expediente, se deduce la inadecuación de lo construido a las dimensiones legalmente previstas para los nichos y la inexistencia de cámara de drenaje posterior. Se destaca que la construcción de nichos precisa de sistemas que “aseguren una cierta estanqueidad de su estructura y, al mismo tiempo, permitan la suficiente ventilación por porosidad”, y deben evitar “la salida al exterior de líquidos y olores (…) por razones sanitarias y de higiene”, reconociendo la posibilidad de producir graves daños ambientales. Asimismo, el Tribunal dispone que el establecimiento de requisitos de calidad para los productos y servicios tienen por finalidad evitar perjuicios sobre la salud, la seguridad de las personas y el medio ambiente. De este modo, la normativa sectorial en materia de sanidad mortuoria, establece unos condicionantes técnicos que no tienen que ver con quién sea el fabricante o dónde se produzca el material empleado y, por tanto, no suponen una obstrucción al libre mercado. Consecuentemente, desestima el recurso y confirmando la orden de demolición. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
