Particulate matter: level decreases but remain critical in urban areas

In Italy fall concentrations of fine particles ‘PM10′, although major problems remain in urban areas because of the domestic heating and cars. To highlight is the ratio of the Higher protection and environmental research, the Ispra, showed yesterday morning in Rome.

A worry is the high level of particulate matter in the air of Rome, where the traffic causes 56% of the particulate emissions. “One thing that emerges from the report is that the vehicle fleet has declined in major regional capitals while it increased in small towns.”
