Weird Pimple On My Lip

year on year last


PRESS


Again, like every winter for many years now, we are here to complain about the pollution pollution. If last year Making Legnano stressed that 46 days was sufficient to reach the critical threshold, this year it took just thirty-eight days before the start of 2011 because our town they should spend 35 to PM10 above the limite.In of this new opportunity, we would stress emergency as obvious as you may see an equally obvious and confusing approach to the problem of pollution. Who decides on their own (Milan) to stop the car for a couple of Sundays, who does not decide anything (Region) and those who expect others to decide (municipalities).
But the real problem should be tackled in a comprehensive and together. Once identified the sources of pollution (heating, air traffic, industrial plants, etc.) should be monitored appropriately and in a continuous air quality in the area.
From this point of view in our city there is no unit that is able to provide daily data on key parameters such as particulate matter (PM 10, PM 2.5) and Benzene. The existing one is inadequate and needs to be updated.
The location also is essential to revise the data correctly. Place detectors in the middle of a park no sense, or at least has very little sense. Some parameters are altered by natural barrier represented by green.
The unit should be placed in high-traffic area, whether at home or public offices, in short, where people have opportunity to spend a long time. We must remember that it is in fact a growing body of assumptions that many respiratory diseases are facilitated or even caused by poisons that aerosol is the air of wood (and beyond).
If nothing is done on time proper and has no way to capture traffic for one day a week. If you do not favor the so-called mobility (walking and cycling) in a city still quite "compact" like ours, then is useless to talk of protecting public health.
must take action to transform attitudes toward limiting car use. But this is not enough, and especially can not be a task delegated to the sensitivity and the wallets of the citizens to incorporate a state of emergency, the government must act in a decisive way.
We need to control public transport. More frequent, more rational and above all less pollutants (methane, or even better electric). It makes no sense today that the narrow streets of Legnano tadpole "dinosaurs" that spew smoke and particulate matter at will.
It is also essential
control of heating and the incentive for conversion. The enlargement of the district heating helps. The use of alternative energy sources (photovoltaic, solar, wind) on public and private buildings, new or old can not give a firm hand to reduce particulate emissions and chemical pollution. The new buildings with energy-saving criteria are an appropriate choice and is decisiva.Si believe are appropriate interventions and support, but who lacks a control room .
Most importantly how to coordinate local authorities to avoid destroying what the next build. The traffic, pollution can not be borne by the individual directors. The dust does not recognize borders.
And only after a series of interventions on Sunday then it makes sense "green" as a teaching aid and as a choice, if not as an excuse to rediscover the city on pace "slow" but "human".
