Smog emergency in Milan, spent the bonus EU

Despite the return of traffic jams, which led to two Sundays in a row on foot, continues unabated smog emergency in Milan, confirming the doubts of those who can not see the stop Sunday to motor vehicles the solution to these problems. The capital of Lombardy, in fact, has seen superareilimiti PM10 laid down by the authorities for 35 days, so much so that now could take the penalties provided by the EU just for those municipalities where this limit is exceeded.

As for the continuing situation, the consecutive days where the air was filled in Milan from fine particulate matter beyond the limits of permissible are already 26, with a concentration of PM10 of 98 micrograms per cubic meter, nearly twice than allowed by EU rules, which allow a maximum concentration of 50 micrograms.

For this reason, the province will gather today at a discussion table all the mayors of Milan hinterland. It will be an opportunity to take stock of the situation and try to find a solution to this state of emergency that is becoming almost the norm in some areas of Lombardy, in addition, however, cities such as Turin, the most polluted town in Italy , Florence, Reggio Emilia, Bologna and Naples, all areas where air quality is often above the limits of tolerance.
