The City of Murcia has deactivated the protocol for air pollution after the levels of PM10 suspended particles have returned to normal for the last two days, below 50 μg / m³, and this morning the situation also remains stable, with appropriate hourly data.
This is the first time that the City Council has implemented this protocol, which was published in the Borm on November 30, and whose development foresees from the outset the maintenance of communication channels with the population, which is reported of the situation and the general recommendations included in the regulation.
In addition to the tools of internal coordination of the various municipal services involved in the protocol, the information to Murcia has been made both with the information transmitted to the media and through the traffic screens located on public roads and social networks of the City Hall and Local Police, in order that the notice reached all the neighbors.
This protocol has a preventive character and its objective is to put the health of people over any other consideration.
Therefore, the City Council approved the document in anticipation of certain scenarios that could arise, as have other large cities, such as Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia, with similar criteria.
Murcia has been the first municipality in the region to approve this document 'precisely to objectify the measures in situations like the current one', explained the Councilor for Urban Planning, Environment, Water and Kitchen Garden, Antonio Navarro, who thanked Murcia for their 'collaboration and understanding'.
The situation of these last days has coincided with times of very high atmospheric stability, where there is hardly any wind, favoring that the suspended particles are not dispersed.
The data of polluting particles were registered only in the automatic control and monitoring station of San Basilio, located very close to Ronda Oeste.
