Saharan air mass that comes loaded with dust from the desert haze, is shooting from yesterday on 5 levels of air pollution by particles suspended in Madrid. The area of \u200b\u200bEnvironment reported that "although this episode is not obvious risk to health (...) is recommended for people with respiratory problems avoid activities that involve physical exertion outdoors." The same note recommended, "In order to reduce levels of airborne particles, the use of public transport. People make the same case usual, I guess.

As reported by journalist Ellen Sevillano, the Department of the Environment has been extended until tomorrow the recommendation of City Hall. There are no references to people with respiratory problems, so it will be better than all the world to refrain from going to run for a day.
The fact is that while this is a Episode completely natural, just take a look at the Network Monitoring Air Quality to see that not only the atmospheric particulate levels are above normal. Also nitrogen dioxide, in the Saharan dust has nothing to do, exceeds allowable limits. The South Node Neighborhood Association warned last week that "turn their high levels of pollution, with nitrogen dioxide levels above the limit value during the evening hours of April 1 (there were 209 μ g/m3 , when the annual limit value is 40 μ g/m3 and 200 hourly limit μ g/m3).
Nothing is heard by local politicians because the situation is not as worrying as last month, when the bomb exploded pollution in the media and political agenda . Besides, this time we have the haze factor, which can not blame Gallardón. But while the candidates for mayor are now fighting for something else, return high levels of pollution show that we can not forget this problem. why I applaud the initiative Equo to petition the European Parliament to investigate pollution in Madrid and the possible violation Directive 2008/50 / EC by the Community of Madrid and the city of Madrid. It is appreciated that, although the subject is out of the limelight, still mindful of the air we breathe every Madrid.
must make it clear again: while not end the underlying problem, use excessive car, we must resign ourselves to breathe bad air for most of the year. Who will dare it?
