Block car traffic Perugia, Padua weekend Sunday, February 27, 2011

The fine particles in our country continues unabated and more and more municipalities that implement compensatory measures. Before Rome and Milan, then Turin, now is the time of Perugia. In fact, the Umbrian province Sunday triggered the block of cars. All on foot then, for a weekend full of clean air.

Lorraine Pesavento, Deputy Mayor, said: "Why is the measure is necessary to think in terms of programming, rather than impromptu responses to emergencies. We need to clean the air of particulate matter and other pollutants, not only because there are specific protocols, but mainly to avoid serious consequences to the health of citizens in the event of prolonged exposure.
