How Much Does A Victorinox Watch Cost?

water from the tap or bottled? Our candidate for the Province


The final phase of Enrico Pisoni, the Greens candidate for the province of Bergamo in the college of Treviglio-Castel Rozzone-election before the silence.

Drinking tap water is cheap, convenient and environmentally friendly: it costs less than bottled water, do not have to carry heavy packs in the house and is less polluting, both in terms of use bottles of plastic / glass, both in terms of transport of water, which often travel by road. But if we are the largest consumers of bottled water in Europe is because tap water does not seem secure enough. Translated into scientific terms, it means investigating the drinking water and water quality. In the case of Treviglio, in light of recent issues on hexavalent chromium, these questions are even more relevant, but need to be addressed in a serious and scientific, unbiased party.
The first point to consider is the quality of drinking water. The Italian law defines water as drinking water when the total chromium (including chromium) concentration was less than 50 micrograms per liter, we are in Treviglio to 25 micrograms / liter, but hexavalent chromium. The other reference standard, which is the only specifically relating to hexavalent chromium, however, refers to the reclamation and laying down to 5 micrograms per liter limit beyond which action is needed.
So, on balance, the water is Treviglio drinking because it respects the values \u200b\u200bprovided by law.
But we are sure that these values \u200b\u200bwill ensure the water quality?
Here is the second point to consider. To be able to investigate this aspect, Legambiente and a delegation of local administrators and representatives of civil society - including by me - was the European parliament for clarification on the case, Mrs Monica Frassoni, leader of the European Greens. From her we got that interpellation is submitted to the Environment Commission of the European Parliament to ask if it considers that Italy fully complies with the obligation of health protection requirements of European Directive 98/83. This request is become even more important in the face of the results of a recent U.S. study on the carcinogenicity of hexavalent chromium. Ultimately
Treviglio water can be drunk, because drinking water, but at the same time is not of particular quality, coming from an aquifer contaminated by chromium.
The situation, however, is now unlocked: a few weeks ago the region (after repeated requests from the town of Treviglio) has authorized the municipality itself to deepen wells citizens. This will allow to reach an aquifer is not contaminated, and then to extract drinking water quality. As a Councilor I will endeavor to ensure that there are serious and timely manner so that the timing authorization and implementation of such operations are possible. And to ensure that environmental issues are addressed with the necessary scientific.
