- ÍtemConsideraciones ambientales derivadas del daño ocasionado por la elaboración de calzado en el sector del Restrepo, BogotáBotache Alape, Yuly Andrea; Torres Vera, Harold Esteban; Pedraza Naranjo, Laura Alejandra; Reyes Gil, Rosa EugeniaIn the 1950s, the first synthetic leather substitutes and the first guilds were born. This was the case of the Corporación Nacional de Industriales del Calzado (Cornical), founded on July 14, 1956, in Bogotá. Then appear in the El Restrepo neighborhood, those displaced by political violence, mainly from Valle del Cauca; some settled there because they had families in the neighborhood; Others, because of low rents, took over the houses and turned them into small shoe factories. This activity of great help to the economic survival of footwear workers is not exempt from generating pollution and damage to the environment. In this work, the environmental consequences derived from the damage generated by the footwear manufacturing activity in the Restrepo sector of the city of Bogotá were analyzed. For this, a monograph-type documentary research was carried out, based on the review of secondary and tertiary information generated by several authors. Among the results obtained is that the greatest source of contamination in the treatment of leather comes from the tanning stage. Indeed, chemicals such as aluminum and chromium sulfide are causing damage to the air and water. If an adequate process such as separating the skins and cleaning them is not handled, respiratory diseases can be caused by the unpleasant odors of the leather skins for the manufacture of footwear. To improve the performance of the tannery, companies must select qualified labor and have adequate facilities, based on a comprehensive knowledge of chemicals for proper handling of the machines used, minimizing the impact on the environment, defining goals and actions to identify and evaluate the environmental management of the tannery. The analysis of the consequences and costs associated with changes in ecosystems that affect both the social environment and people's health, must consider the processes in which toxic substances intervene, the damage caused to the environment and the legal tools used for its management.
