Veneto Region, an example: overview about driven forces of air pollution
Driving forces of air pollution: population VENETO REGION A densely populated area with high urban sprawl Regional level Veneto: 4,500 [M inh] Pop density: 244 inh/km2 Province level (7) 5 with about 800 [K inh] 2 with about 250 [K inh] Municipal level (581) 329 with < 5 [K inh] 552 with < 20 [K inh] 29 with > 20 [K inh]
Legend Main streets Highways Production activities Cement plants Power plant Industrial areas Climatic zones Alpine Elevated plain Plain Coastal & lagoon Low level plain Pre-alpine Driving forces of air pollution: industrial activities Some relevant “hot spots” together with many small industries within a densely urbanised area Furniture district Leather district Port & Industrial area Cement plants Furniture district Power plant
Driving forces of air pollution: meteorology Pianura Padana: it’s a closed aerological basin; a sort of “bathtub” with low recirculation and high stagnation= high pollution Alps N Lake of Garda Appenines Source: TEMIS
We believe it’s necessary to get a solution that is matching the need of environmental protection (ex. good air quality) and industrial profitability and social-economic development …….Political choices……
another example: The waste management in Veneto Region
Goal of regional planning? Landfills = 0 In landfills only fraction of residual waste How to reach the goal ? with an integrated waste management
production waste Total production waste in Veneto (2010): 2.408.599 t (+ 1,6% )
Current situation of waste management installations • MAJOR PUBLIC FACILITIES: • selection of municipal waste • recovery of organic • recovery of dry fraction • incinerators with energy recovery • landfills
Current situation of waste management installations is able to meet the needs of the waste treatment
