Spring 98 measurement of
atmosphere pollution


SITES OF SURVEY

Via Leonardo da Vinci: it's the main axis in the East-West direction with heavy traffic. Here a laboratory has been positioned to collect pollutants.

Via Monte Sabotino:it intersects the railway line. Here a CO analyzer has been positioned.

Piazzetta Reale: analyzer of these pollutants: NO2, CO, NMHC, SO2, O3, NO, CH4.

COMPARISON BETWEEN NORMATIVE LIMITS AND THE OTHER PROVINCIAL EMPLACEMENTS

in Paderno Dugnano in the other provincial emplacements
NO2
(see graphic)
It topped 8 times the level of attention in 5 of the 27 days of the survey in the rush hours (7.00 - 8.00 a.m. and 6.00 - 7.00 p.m. There were overcoming in the same period but with lower intensity and less numerous than in Paderno
O3
(see graphic)
It topped the vegetation protection level once In the north - east area of the district, there were more numerous violation than in Paderno
