Monica Frassoni, President of the Greens / EFA the European Parliament, today presented a written question to the European Commission on the reclamation groundwater from Treviglio aqueduct in Lombardy. "The ground has undergone in recent decades, the contamination by various substances. In particular, there has been since 2000 a chromium VI pollution caused by the company of Castelcrom Ciserano." - Says in the question - "With the cessation of production activities of Castelcrom was initiated the reclamation, through dilution of polluted groundwater. Falde that feed the drinking water network of the town of Treviglio. The values \u200b\u200bof chromium VI have been killed so until a concentration of 25 micrograms per liter, a value that the region of Lombardy has considered satisfactory and therefore led to the decision to stop the reclamation work despite legislation (national law relating to land reclamation DM 471/1999 and Decree 152/2006) set a "threshold of contamination" for chromium VI to 5 micrograms / liter.
The European Directive 98/83 on the quality of water intended for human consumption sets limits with respect to some pollutants. Member States shall determine the parameter values \u200b\u200bwhich must then be at least equal to the values \u200b\u200bof the Directive.
For the chromium (III and VI), the legal limit in water drinking water is set by legislative decree 31/2001 of 50 micrograms per liter.
Monica Frassoni has therefore asked the European Commission considers that Italy, given the possibility for Member States to set the contamination levels more stringent than the values \u200b\u200bset in Directive 98/83 and Italy had acknowledged in its legislation on the remediation of chromium VI that a value of 5 micrograms per liter is considered sufficient to implement remediation " not fully comply with the obligation of health protection provided by Directive 98 / '83 while in its national legislation transposing a value, albeit in line with those set at the European level, beyond what is considered in other legislation such as the threshold level of contamination.
