Air pollution levels in Milan
continue to exceed legal limits according to the latest report
from the regional environmental protections agency ARPA issued
Thursday.
The level of fine particulate matter (pm10) ranged from 98
micrograms per cubic metre in Via Verziere to 104 micrograms per
cubic metre in the Pascal area, ARPA said.
This compares to the legal limit of 50 micrograms per cubic
metre.
The latest values continue a trend that has now seen
pollution levels in the Lombardy regional capital exceed legal
limits for over three weeks.
Further, ARPA said the weather forecast for Thursday and
Friday "favoured" the build-up and spread of air pollutants.
