Extinction and decommissioning operations continue at the Snua composting plant in Aviano where last night, around 7:30 p.m., a big fire broke out. The Pordenone Fire Department in action, with the reinforcements of the Maniago, Spilimbergo and San Vito branches and the valuable support of the nucleus of the Special Operations Group that, with the use of earth-moving vehicles, is assisting in the removal debris and burned material. Also present from the Treviso Command is the kiloliter, a heavy vehicle for firefighters that contains 30 thousand liters of water and ensures a constant supply of water.
Meanwhile this morning an emergency meeting was held in Pordenone prefecture, in which the lieutenant governor also participated Riccardo Riccardi.
A high index, four times higher than normal, in air quality in some portions of the territory of the municipalities of Aviano, Roveredo and San Quirino was detected by the control units of the Regional Environmental Protection Agency (ARPA).
The mayors of the three municipalities will issue ordinances starting today with precautionary measures that the Ministry of Health will indicate in detail. In the afternoon, when the results of the investigations of the material deposited on the ground are known, a more detailed assessment of any contamination can be made.
At the moment, the Arpa control units do not detect anomalies in the other inhabited centers.
In the afternoon, the first analyzes of the material deposited on the ground are scheduled, again by the Arpa Fvg technicians.
Here are the recommendations on how to behave in the areas involved, up to the results of the analyzes on the composition of the powders.
1. Keep window frames closed and leave the house out of real necessity;
2. Suspend the collection and related consumption of fruits and vegetables, as well as the extraction of water for irrigation of wells and unprotected tanks;
3. Don’t eat eggs and meat from farm-raised poultry;
4. Do not garden and keep pets at home;
5. If possible, do not allow children to play outdoors and avoid hand contact with the ground;
6. Prohibit grazing and harvesting.
ARPA DATA. In the vicinity of the Aviano Town Hall, the Roveredo schools in Piano and the ENI gas station, the particle counter did not show worrying data for dust. On the other hand, a significant fall of dust was detected near the entrance to the USAf base. A second air quality monitoring will begin in the early afternoon. The study area will also extend to the town of San Quirino.
Given the importance of the event and the need for rapid analytical responses, Arpa Fvg has activated a collaboration with the Veneto Regional Agency for Environmental Protection (ArpaV) to carry out dioxin analysis using a high volume sampler. . ArpaV technicians are already present on the site.
Regarding the data collected by the automatic air quality measurement stations, it should be noted that the three reference stations in the area (Pordenone, Porcia and Brugnera) do NOT present exceedances of the values considered acceptable for fine dust (PM) .
Regarding the meteorological aspects, it should be noted that the atmospheric conditions at night and in the early hours of today did not favor the dilution of the pollutants present in the air due to the presence of low intensity winds from the north / northeast (northwest in altitude). ).
Even during the day and tomorrow the winds will not be favorable to the dispersion of pollutants since they are of low intensity and breeze. Only in the central hours of the day, thanks to the increase in solar radiation, will a greater vertical dispersion and dilution of the pollutants present in the air be favored.
morning, as the councilor already announced Fabio Scoccimarro, a meeting with the leaders of the SNUA is expected, since last night’s fire is the second fire in less than a year.
In Pordenone, inform the mayor Alessandro Ciriani, air quality in the norm: “There are no emergencies and you can go out safely, but with some precautions. It is better not to pick vegetables and, if children play outdoors, it is advisable to wash their hands, as the rules also suggest anti-Covid “.
