Rome – So far this year is Milan, with 86 days, to lead the ranking of cities that have exceeded the limit set by the Law of 35 days per year with concentrations greater than 50 micrograms per cubic meter for PM10. Follow Turin with 73 days, with 59 Naples, Rome and Bologna with 49 with 35. In the capital of Emilia the last four days have in fact recorded values of particulate matter exceeding the legal limit. To the control gate of San Felice, where some of the more critical values, yesterday there was the 35 / or slippage of 2015, being the last of those permitted by law. The national record, however, belongs to Frosinone: 101 days beyond the limits. Are alarming figures in the Legambiente report concludes that the monitoring campaign “PM10 will keep an eye on.” The dossier In the fratttempo Ispra (Institute for the Protection and Environmental Research) Does it know that – according to preliminary figures – in the first half of 2015 were 18 cities out of 78 urban areas that have exceeded the limit of 35 days with more than 50 micrograms per cubic meter daily PM10. Overshoot covered most of the town of Po basin (maximum of 55 days recorded in Brescia) – explains the Ispra – and Benevento and Palermo (in all these cities in 2014 were recorded levels of PM10 pollution severe enough) . In 27 urban areas, from 1 January to 30 June this year, there has been a number of days exceeding 50 micrograms per cubic meter of PM10 between 10 and 35 days in these cases, says the National Institute for Research and environmental protection – “the risk of exceeding the daily limit at the end of 2015 is especially high for those cities like Rovigo, Piacenza, Modena, Terni, Caserta, Avellino very close to the threshold of 35 exceedances.” In the remaining 33 cities, where overruns in the first six months of 2015 will not exceed 10 days, “it is reasonable to expect (not considering the meteorological component, whose variability in the latter part of 2015 could contribute significantly to the daily levels of PM10 ) that the daily limit will not be exceeded. “ The authorities have begun to take action. The City of Vicenza, for example, today, with an order of the mayor urgent, imposed a ban on the lighting of closed fireplaces and wood stoves and every household appliance powered woody biomass that does not guarantee an energy efficiency and emission values of carbon monoxide defined from the order itself. The ordinance also establishes fixed at 19 degrees, the maximum temperature in the heating for buildings used for industrial, craft and similar, at 20 degrees for all other buildings, so all homes. Finally enter into force on the obligation of engine shutdown bus during brake to stop, motor freight vehicles during loading and unloading, especially in residential areas, the vehicles stops of longer than a minute in at particular traffic lights and railroad crossings. The mayor of Florence has decided to postpone until after the holidays, the measures for the limitation of emissions. Same choice in Pescara.
ranks the provincial capitals that have passed, with at least one urban unit, the threshold limit daily of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of fine dust. In drawing up the list, explains the environmental organization, “has taken as reference the worst unit (the one that has the highest number of exceedances so far) in this city, from the data available on the websites of the regions, Harp and provinces. It was chosen this criterion for comparison between cities because the Regions choose different ways data communication and in the counting of overruns. The controller worst – says Legambiente – certainly not indicative of the average quality of air around the city limits, but it shows the most critical of which local officials and residents should be aware of and which must be taken into account “.
