NAPOLI – at the beginning of July in a Legambiente report showed the pollution of rivers as the main source of pollution of the seas of Campania. Now the budget of the 2016 Green Schooner campaign not only confirms that data, but adds new disturbing details that need to reflect especially in a region such as Campania. The surveys carried out by Legambiente operators reveal that between Garigliano and Sapri is an average of one point polluted every 23.5 kilometers of coastline. The points monitored by the Green Schooner mobile laboratory were 31: 64 percent of those found to polluted or heavily polluted. Accused discharges into the sea not sufficiently purified, then rivers, streams and canals. Some points are now by black dot already for many years, without solution of continuity. Certainties in the negative, for seven years, in particular the mouth of the river Savone and Mondragone, that of Regi complain, the outlet channel of Licola, the mouth of Vesuvius Lagno and, even in this case it is not a surprise, the mouth of the Sarno, between Castellammare di Stabia and Torre Annunziata, and dell’Irno in Salerno.
In a note explains that “the parameters investigated are microbiological (ie intestinal enterococci, Escherichia coli)” and that “are considered polluted” the results that exceed the maximum values of existing legislation on bathing in Italy. ” If the values exceed the double, or even more, the limit there is in the presence of a strong pollution. It is also specified that the sampling points were selected by local circles Legambiente and based on the reports of citizens.
Discharges non-purified are defined by the association environmentalist “the worst enemies of tourism “. And from this point of view there is no reason to be happy as the Campania holds the unenviable record of offenses recorded: 794 well-established, an increase of 59 percent compared to the offenses of the past year. The increase is probably attributable also to the intensification of efforts in the monitoring and prevent offenses of this type by the relevant authorities. Were the 850 reported or arrested persons, even in this case there was an increase seen in 2014 to end up in the control network were 616 persons. Finally seizures: 299 in the last year. The Legambiente report goes further in detail by identifying the sources of pollution: it comes mostly from sewage treatment plants is not in accordance with (some are obsolete and are gone out by the security parameters), in other cases of discharges are not connected to sewer system because they come from abusive homes, but, what is worse, even from private homes, hotel and industrial facilities.
And here the bitter comment of the president of Legambiente Campania Michele Buonomo. “Against Italy – recalls the environmentalist leader – weighs an infringement procedure right about the purification and Campania, unfortunately it a first-place in terms of number of finished purifying agglomerations under the lens.” Buonomo also provides updated figures of the phenomenon. “From the latest updates – highlights – are in fact 108 (out of 151) agglomerations of Campania for which is alleged non-compliance with the EU directive dictates the treatment. This inadequacy, according to the calculations of the Government, would result from 2016 and until the completion of the interventions to retract the emergency a fine of 21 million a year. ” Already at the beginning of July the Legambiente report denounced that even short stretches of the Cilento sea, always awarded for the clarity of its water and cleaning, were recorded traces of pollution. Of course, in the vicinity of the mouths of streams and rivers.
