The Friuli-Venezia Giulia Environmental Protection Agency (ARPAV) recently conducted new supplementary sampling in all bathing areas where limit values had been exceeded. The samples taken in the Municipalities of Staranzano, Monfalcone, Trieste And Muggia showed values compliant with current regulations, allowing bathing to resume regularly.
In detail, the sampling points involved were:
- Staranzano: Staranzano Lido
- Monfalcone: Marina Julia and Marina Nova
- Trieste: North Dam
- Muggia: Bagno Muggesano and Bagno GMT
In all these sites, the values were found to comply with bathing regulations, guaranteeing safety for bathers.
Communication from councilor Fabio Scoccimarro
L’Regional Councilor for Environmental Protection Fabio Scoccimarro announced that the results of the supplementary analyzes for the Municipality of will also be available in the afternoon Grade. Pickup points in Grado include:
- Camping Tenuta Primero
- Camping Europa and Punta Spin
- Lido del Carabiniere
Councilor Scoccimarro explained that the samples previously analyzed had shown faecal contamination indicators higher than the permitted limits. This was likely caused by the heavy rains of the previous days, which had a temporary and short-lived effect on water quality.
Resampling times
According to the legislation, resampling should take place within 72 hours of exceeding the limit values. However, Scoccimarro indicated that ARPAV was instructed to proceed within 24 hours of the start of the bathing season. This measure was adopted to encourage the use of tourist services and guarantee the safety of swimmers.
The results of the analyzes will be published on the Agency’s web page dedicated to bathing.
