The entire Po Valley these days resembles a gas chamber, and Ferrara is no exception, indeed. With the values \u200b\u200bof smog released yesterday are the sixth consecutive day above the legal limits, and look at the weather is enough to make me shudder. The entire province is covered with purple, the color associated with the quality of "bad" air, and the lack of rain and wind to prevent the parts. "We were ourselves a bit 'surprised by this situation, a kind of progression has not been seen for some time" remarks Enrica Canossa, head of ARPA's provincial air. To impress is not so much the number of slippages, 19 since the beginning of the trailer via Bellonci: there are many, but in 2010 these days if you were already registered 21. The fact is that many days of consecutive overruns and extended throughout the country, never leave a breath. The word "emergency" begins to emerge: "We're in a situation where you need to do to combat smog something more than expected from the regional protocol - Scarlett admits Zadro, Councillor for the Environment - This is why we have coordinated with other municipalities and with the region and decided to call a February 16. Too far? Even if tomorrow spegnessimo all sources of pollution, the industries with the engines of cars to the boiler, the savings in terms of pollution would be 20%, insufficient to bring down the concentrations below the threshold of Europe. The idea of \u200b\u200bstopping traffic next Sunday has been really appreciated. Measures will be needed at the level of Po basin. Something else you are doing. Lombardy has done off the pallet stoves, suspected of directly produce fine particles from burning wood. In Bologna, the mayoral candidate of the Democratic Party, Virgil Merola, speaks openly of increasing pedestrian zones in the center but also in neighborhoods, and even stop the development of hypermarkets, "where you go only by car." In Ferrara, the trend is improving, both in terms of the number of overruns that the level of the peaks, but this trend will not lead to decisive results "in the absence of a national plan of reorganization, which still is not there and it 's Italy has been referred to the European Court of Justice - said Zadro - The plan shall contain measures to stem emissions in all sectors, including agriculture, which contributes with ammonia. The extension to the consolidation in Po basin? Europe has not given. "
Meanwhile, the controller detects the most difficult situation in the city center, during Soca (81 micrograms), and place relatively less polluted area in the southeast, from portions of Villa Fulvia. "But the spread is fairly even," concluded the Harp. The ultra-fine powders, the more dangerous by themselves overruns much each threshold.
