Grosseto. Administrators, Asl 9, Arpat are already working to address the danger radon after they are published data of a complex research conducted between 2007 and 2010 in all the towns in Tuscany. Some centers of our province, in fact, found values \u200b\u200bfar beyond the risk threshold. In 13 out of 28 municipalities in the province of Grosseto, there are several buildings that exceed one thousand becquerels per cubic meter. The limit beyond which scientists and doctors believe that radon is dangerous to health is 300 Bq per cubic meter, but already above 200 becquerels should take action to clean up a room. At present, however, to avoid false alarms, there is no mayor willing to reveal what exactly the areas at risk. "The European Union - said Dr. Philip Checcucci, Councillor environment Roccastrada - adopted Directive 90/143 Euratom on the protection of the public against exposure to indoor radon, which recommended reference levels for existing buildings (400 bq / cu m) and future (200 bq / cu m). Italy, if we exclude the Legislative Decree 241/2000, has not yet adopted special rules to regulate the levels of radon in homes, unlike other European countries. However, in the "Guidelines for the protection and health promotion in confined spaces" incorporated with the State-Regions Agreement of 2001, highlighted the need to establish a "National Plan radon" including, inter alia, a proposal of rules for living spaces, the preventive and remedial actions and rules for buildings the use of particular building materials. " "The monitoring carried out by Arpat on behalf of the region - continues Checcucci - are therefore an important work that should not be seen as a further problem for municipalities. We have received a week ago, examined data for buildings, public and private. There are emerging and yesterday we had a meeting with the engineers, to address the problem. It is in the first instance to inform, then to provide additional analysis and then write up a plan of action. Here at Roccastrada the problem, I understand, especially about the ground floors and basements, with critical point where the material of construction joins the rest on the rock of the building. " Pier Andrea Vanni, the first national Sorano, is clear. "The problem has long been known and will not be underestimated. We had a meeting a week ago on the ASL and yesterday I spoke directly with the Director-General Fausto Mariotti. Obviously, the actions should be mutually reinforcing. Our area is special. You can not get rid of the tuff from day to day or compromise, abandon buildings in 1500. Yes, we have a clear map of the buildings more gassed (he was also monitored my office ...) and will be implemented from the beginning all the precautions described by technicians. The very next week we will meet the leaders of the schools. We'll start from there. " When the concentration radon levels exceed the reference there are several possibilities for action, the choice depends on how the building is constructed and how they are distributed environments. The first thing to do is to make new measurements of radon in different environments to identify the access routes of radon in the building. The mayor of Sorano Pier Andrea Vanni is also thinking of spreading a manual of proper behavior in a "contaminated" by radon. "We have been told you need to aerate more environments, isolate the house from the ground, sealing the entry routes air from underground. Let's see. "
