We publish this press release from WWF and WWF FVG Trieste
Sure enough, not only in the autumn leaves fall dry but again the problem of particulate matter PM10 in the air. In Trieste, the slippages of the legal limit (50 μ g / m - micrograms per cubic meter - as a daily average) occur not only in the center, because of 'intense traffic (in this period the heating of homes is at a minimum) but also in the area of \u200b\u200bServola, close to the Ironworks. Data collected by ARPA stations on 12, 13, 14, November 15 show much higher values \u200b\u200bof PM10 Servola to that in the city center: 49, 67, 70, 52 μ g / m³ for 61 Liberty Square, 101, 102, 58 μ g / mc Carpineto away. These data show the heavy industrial contribution to the deterioration of air quality , which certainly affects Servola and to a lesser extent other city neighborhoods.
ARPA The mobile unit, located in S. Lorenzo Selva (Servola) and notes that air pollution values \u200b\u200balways much higher than other units, but does not provide no data on PM10 by 23 October (!). explains the prolonged failure of ARPA, in a delicate period in terms of air quality?
The units owned by Elettra (via Svevo, via Pitacco) provide data instead of PM10 much lower. Maybe because they are managed by the ownership of the factory and virtually pollution data are never validated by ARPA ?
What does the city of Trieste for the pollution produced by traffic and industry? Following a plan of action, totally inadequate , expected to be exceeded three fateful days of exceedances, hoping that the weather improved in the fourth. Hopefully it will make restrictions on vehicular traffic, however, never to production, even though the latter are specifically laid down in existing legislation on air quality.
Given that weather forecasts are now very reliable for a period of three days, it is necessary to take preventive measures without regard for anyone, such as the WWF calls for years. For industrial pollution should therefore, first, decrease the production of coke Ferriera (since the coke works at peak, well above the needs of the only blast furnace in operation), increasing the cooking time of the coal. At the same time the pollution of agglomeration should be suspended for a few days, because it is one of the most polluting sources (also emits dioxin, as well as PM10) of the steelworks Lucchini.
Only utopias? And 'The health of tens of thousands of citizens.
