Cultural Association Pediatricians (ACP), the Italian Society of Paediatrics (SIP) and the Italian Federation of Paediatricians (FIMP) ask the Government to review the thresholds of benzo (a) pyrene set in the measure (Dl 155 2010) published in the Official Gazette on September 15 last year, postponing the ban until 31 December 2012 exceeded the level of one nanogram per cubic meter for this pollutant. "very surprising the adoption by the Italian government of this Decree," write to the Council of Ministers, Paolo Siani, president of ACP, Alberto Ugazio, chairman of the SIP, and Joseph Mele, president of FIMP . A decree that "in fact it still 2 years for Italian citizens at risk of exposure to high levels of this dangerous pollutant, freeing companies that pollute the obligation to reduce emissions in excess." In particular, "keeps this unacceptable situation of risk citizens and children of Taranto, a city where Europe's largest steelmaker, Ilva, enter, according to calculations ARPA Puglia, 98% of benzo (a) pyrene in the nearest neighborhood. " The EU Directive provides that "if there is a risk that the levels of pollutants will exceed the alert threshold set, Member States shall draw up action plans indicating the measures to be taken in the short term to reduce the risk or the duration of overrun.
