Santa Maria Capua Vetere. As part of the series of in-depth studies on air pollution that Arpa Campania is carrying out in many areas of the regional territory, last June 19th an extraordinary campaign to monitor air quality was launched in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, in collaboration with the municipal administration.
The first results will be illustrated on Wednesday 3 July at 12 at the state school ‘Raffaele Perla, where a mobile laboratory has been set up to monitor on an hourly basis a set of pollutants that includes nitrogen oxides, PM10 and PM2.5 fine dust, ozone, benzene, toluene, xylene, carbon monoxide.
The general director of Arpac, Stefano Sorvino, the mayor of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, Antonio Mirra, and the director of the Arpac Air Quality Monitoring Unit, Piero Cau, will participate.
For several years, the Campania Environmental Agency has been combining the daily air monitoring carried out by fixed stations located throughout the region with a series of supplementary campaigns using mobile laboratories, flexible tools that the Agency is able to send wherever specific investigation needs arise.
With this initiative, there will be an additional measurement point for air pollutants, in addition to the regularly active one, located at the Stir plant, and also managed by Arpac, whose data are already published on the Agency’s website.
The results will be periodically disseminated on the Agency’s website and, furthermore, at the end of the extraordinary monitoring campaign scheduled for approximately three months, a detailed report on the results obtained is expected to be drawn up.
