Councilman Hall Environment lorquino regretted that Ecologists in Action "unnecessarily alarmed the public because the Real Decreto 1796/2003 marks the 180 micrograms per m3 as the amount required to inform the public and not 120 as they say."
Councillor for the Environment of the City of Lorca, Melchor Morales, has denied the claims of Ecologists in Action, as in the municipality have not passed this summer, 180 micrograms of ozone per m3, which is what makes the Royal Decree 1796 / 2003 as a limit beyond which we must inform the population to overcome the threshold. "
Morales has asked this group to "not to alarm people unnecessarily, because they make reference to a limit of 120 micrograms when there are 180 legally established."
The mayor explained that "the unusual increase of ozone levels in the district has occurred primarily because one of the factors favoring this phenomenon is the solar radiation, and in these three months we have had numerous episodes of yellow alert, orange and red heat, which has led to peaks that have not exceeded the levels set. "
Melchor Morales added that the "Lorca air quality is fully controlled and the proof is that all parameters are available on the website of the Directorate General of Environmental Quality."
Finally, the council has announced "very soon we will announce the details of a study by the Department of Physical Chemistry at the University of Murcia, in which Dr. Alberto Requena points to good air quality levels of Lorca, especially regarding the presence of ozone, which must be calculated with the average of the past three years and not to a misinterpretation of point measures, as does Ecologists in Action.
