Assessment: monitoring networks in Italy at the date of Directive implementation • Too many traffic stations • Not homogeneously distributed on the territory • PM2.5 network to be completed • Open question: meaning of «hot spot» : the worst situation or a point near emissions but still representative of exposition?

New dispositions Competent authorities for air quality assessment and management REGIONS • With the entry into force of Legislative Decree 155/10 have been provided: • New criteriafor the zoning of the territory • New criteriaformonitoring networks • Additional dispositions for the elaboration of air quality plans • Strengthening procedures for harmonization of the national and regional tools STATE Coordination, and financialsupport Rulesaboutrelatedfields
