On February 18, 2008 in Milan began a study on pollution citizen. fifty units are installed to detect the air quality in different parts of the city . The results, contained in an extensive report, delivered to the City a year later . The results are horrendous. PM10 in the air can easily exceed four times the upper limit of 50 micrograms in some areas of the city. San Paolo hospital 173mg/mc are achieved. The report shows that average daily concentration of PM10 are often higher than the legal limit, in both summer and winter. The study also shows that mothers, children, elderly and sick become chronically ill for the absorption of daily PM10, benzene, nitrogen dioxide and particulates produced by the tires of the car. The City once got hold of a study that describes Milan like a gas chamber, instead of making public the hidden, the secret . A short time later, the President of the Lombardy Region, Roberto Formigoni and the Mayor of Milan Letizia Moratti receive notice of a: are under investigation for pollution in Milan.
But a similar story also took place in our "peaceful" city of Feltre.
On April 7, 2008 is located in Largo Castaldi a filtering station with the task of cleaning up the downtown area within a radius of 500 meters . The machine sucks the air full of dust, with special filters and cleans out the answer. also houses a center that will provide additional monitoring of the municipality all the details of pollution in the center . The air quality data can now integrate those found in dall'Arpav via Colombo (Arpav the unit is located in the parking lot of the technical surveyors, two kilometers from the center in the countryside). The mayor of Feltre, Gianvittorio Vaccari, promises: "The data will be made known." The machine works in sixteen months full capacity to clean the air by dust and to monitor, minute by minute, the air quality in the city center. The company responsible for the consignment to the data collected from the station with the addition of a booklet summary of some particularly interesting for administration. This series of "snapshots" recorded by the instrument contained in the unit, put together, show that every day in Largo Castaldi there are moments that are very critical at the level of fine particulates in the air, with peaks of 90-100microgrammi per cubic meter PM10 between 7:15 and 9 am (when the pads go to school, at work, at the station to take train) and between 19 and 20 (when people come home from work not before being passed through the city center). to a large Castaldi, in the city center where strolling frequently mothers, children, young and old, have been reached 250 mg / m . As soon as the mayor takes possession of the data pointing in the city center as the air is very polluted, with peaks of as much as five times the upper limit allowed by law, obscures the data with the press, city councilors and citizenship, entrenched lies behind a collection of ill-assorted ("The data you have already registered," "No, but you will have them by mail," "I do not have them because they are not important, are only those ARPAV ',' We'll give them from). The "happy ending", however, is not in Feltre. The Mayor, responsible for the health of its citizens, it is still there. The opposition is there and not there. machines in downtown come and go quietly, without any limit. And meanwhile the people who walk in the center breathe air every day more and more full of poisons.
