Heartburn And Ice Cream

Maxi-truffle auctioned for 330mila U.S. dollar weighed 900 grams. The tycoon Stanley Ho Chinese character for the third time the TCI

ROME - The Chinese billionaire Stanley Ho and 'starred for the third consecutive international auction of the truffle Italian won $ 330,000 for the truffle season record of 900 grams found in Palaia (Pisa).
The auction, designed with purpose 'charities by Giselle Oberti, and' was defeated at the same time, in a satellite link, in Rome, at the restaurant La Pergola pluristellato chef Heinz Beck, Macao and London. Were collected around $ 440,000 donated to various charities.
''The offer of $ 330,000 for the maxi-truffle from 900 grams (combined with another piece of 350 grams offered by Victor Palombo Molise) - explains Giselle Oberti - equals the record number, paid in 2007 by billionaire ever to take home a Chinese truffle guinness from a pound and a half that was was also found in the soils of Palaia by Cristiano Savini.
Massimo Giletti, who has lived for the second time the emotion of the auctioneer, it looks like this''and 'made in Italy that works. Focus on quality 'and' winning a challenge for our country.'' Italian entrepreneurs Henry and Robert Baratta Soldera have tried to counter the raises until the last Chinese. Baratta has offered up to $ 280,000. In total were auctioned 6 pounds and 360 grams of truffles from Tuscany, Marche, Umbria and Abruzzo said of the auction in order to enhance all areas of Italian truffle. This year

Angonoka

Because the project:
The idea for this project comes from the journey that has organized the Tarta Club Italy in late 2009 to visit the center Angonoka, run by the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, located within the National Park Ankarafantsika about 120 km from Mahajanga (in the north-west of Madagascar). At the center
Angonoka we were impressed by the commitment of managers and those who over the years has devoted time and money to create it, such as Durrell and the British Chelonia Group and at the same time of their concern not to undermine all the work of "Project Angonoka "dedicated to the preservation of Astrochelys yniphora now become a symbol of the country (also printed on the banknotes of 1000 Ariary). The main destination of the specimens are poacher Asian markets, where the majority is not in force, the Convention of Washington.
At our request we were given a priority list of materials and tools, which stands at the top "security system". Indeed, the center now has a simple security system, however, almost useless, and still in boxes in a sophisticated system too difficult to install and manage via PC, donated by a Canadian Association.
History of the conservation program of Astrochelys yniphora:
From the middle of last century, from the ploughshare tortoise (so named because of the extension of plate-shaped plow gulari) was almost extinct and is classified as critically endangered in the Red Book IUCN.
Its range was limited to the area of \u200b\u200bBaly Bay on the west coast of Madagascar mainly in an area of \u200b\u200b1500 square miles of forest and open savanna.

.

Much of this tortoise habitat has been destroyed by fires and natural sources that deliberate attacks by local farmers in search of new cultivable areas and the devastating practice of burning the brush before the advent of the rainy season with belief that is so
fertilize the soil, and only partly true, but that will gradually killing all microorganisms it is desertification, as well as, unfortunately, is occurring in much of the large island, in practice they are "burning the future ", so that now the old name of Green Island has become the" Red Island ".
For these reasons, herpetologists have estimated that they would only been a few years before this species would become extinct.
At this point comes in the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (DWCT) putting up a project to safeguard Astrochelys yniphora
for posterity. In 1986 he launched "Project Angonoka" in collaboration with the Malagasy Government and the support of the World Wide Fund for Nature. The British Chelonian Group (BCG) has entered the scene in 1993 with the fundraising campaign to help pay the cost of the breeding program in Madagascar, funding a fence to Ampijoroa, Ankarafantsika inside the park, at the time were only 17 adults and 62 the baby in captivity, while a few specimens were known in nature. The DWCT had put together these 17 adults is taken from the wild to be received by the authorities following their seizure by local gardens (it was illegal to keep them as pets is that trade) and have been played for about 6 years. The long-term goal was to leave nature in some individuals born in captivity when they were large enough to have much chance of survival. Such a thing had never been attempted before, but the program took off in the year 1990 and reached a great success thanks to the intelligent and competent staff of DWCT. Don Reid's name will always be associated with this project and he was awarded the BCG to the memory of Kay Gray in 1994 for his work with A. yniphora. Put a blow a blow to the program in 1999, when about half of the children were stolen by a poacher during a disastrous night.
were already in place security measures, but unfortunately they did not prove sufficient. In any case, many of A.yniphora stolen were found in Europe and sent to the capital (Antananarivo), but here it sank into oblivion (corruption is high) and applied a more rigorous control and monitoring center.
In December 2004 there were already 224 pieces of 8 and 9 years old and born in captivity was time to release some of their former range.
First of all we tried to secure the area where the turtles are released and it was very important to declare the area of \u200b\u200bBaly Bay National Park by the Government of Madagascar with the constant presence of 8 full-time guards, assisted by a network of 40 "Rangers" volunteers are always ready to stop poachers and possible principles fire. Both the guards that "rangers" are working closely with the police Madagascar.
have been some releases of test to ensure the viability of the release schedule. In 1998, some sub-adults were released and monitored very closely in what was considered the safe zone and use. This attempt has proved a great success: the rate of growth of these specimens proved identical to those remaining in captivity and has always lived better than the animals free in nature. There were no neither death nor serious injuries, no fire and no attempt to steal large, so the DWCT you felt confident enough to schedule the release of a number of tortoises.
The reintroduction program began in nature 7 December 2005, when 20 Angonoka sub-adults were transferred from the center of the bamboo forest to Ampijoroa Beaboaly in the Baly Bay National Park, where up to 22 January 2006 been filled in order to make pens that suit the environment. After that were released with the included antennas to monitor them.
Another 20 specimens were freed the following year (2007). Unfortunately, laboratory tests on animals released in 2007 revealed two probable cases of herpes virus, although the analysis results are not final and there is always the possibility of false positives. In any case, it was decided to bring all the latest released 20 birds in pens, to monitor them better. Subsequently, 20 specimens were re-homed.
Since 2007 he has been working hard to raise awareness of the importance of restoring local populations Angonoka and to have respect and care of existing ones.
This has increased the perceived importance of the area of \u200b\u200bBaly Bay and its biodiversity. Although tourism in the area is increasing, and the hope is to self-finance the park and the area with the same income from tourism and the sale of tickets to visit the park.
Although no documented cases of thefts were reported by poaching, illegal trade of turtles from the plow continues, given the magnitude of the Baly Bay area. With the aim to minimize this problem, the Committee Durrell is working closely with the authorities malagasy. As a result, there have been several arrests in Antananarivo they serve, together with awareness-raising activities, as a deterrent.
Also at international level There is a great effort to reduce the illegal trade in this species. The Durrell is in continuous contact with Traffic, a monitoring program to control the illegal trade in turtles. In 2008, after the workshop his turtles of Madagascar, has started to envisage the possibility of reviewing the status of land tortoises and freshwater turtles in the red list. IUCN.

specimens bred in the center: In the center there are
Astrochelys yniphora, in addition to rare Erymnochelys madagascariensis, and Pyxis planicauda
Astrochelys radiata.
The first two species are known to have become a very strong risk of extinction, but also for the Pyxis planicauda now the situation is really hard and well for Astrochelys radiata that in fact their distribution area is not in this area but in the south of the island, they say friends of the center Sokak, which in the past 10 years, the number in nature is decreased sharply, by about 90%). Erymnochelys madagascariensis, the only turtle endemic freshwater
mica Madagascar, is included in the "Red Book" of the IUCN's 25 most endangered species, are reared several specimens with a good reproductive outcome. The estimated number of
Astrochelys yniphora remained in Madagascar is about 600 specimens divided into about 400 in the wild and 200 in the center.
Incubation egg in the center is still quite natural (circa8 months) and not used incubators. The hatching rate is about 60%.

The choice of Italy Tarta Club:
The TCI has decided to engage in the creation of a burglar alarm system, which has characteristics of high security, low probability of failure because no one on site would then be able to repair and low energy (here missing the electricity and everything is powered by solar panels).
System overview:
After a careful study to see what was the right system at the center, we opted for a very advanced system which allows to detect the cuts of the fence, by piezo-sensors in addition to not consume dynamic power being passive components have very low probability of failure. This system is absolutely innovative and used to protect areas with a high degree of security intrusion as military zones and airport hazard. The sensors are connected in two series of 27 elements and installed every 2 meters, in a special shielded cable designed for long life outdoors. These sensors are controlled by two innovative low-power stations, which were tested in a high-temperature ra
resin and treated with special anti-humidity. The units are able to distinguish the vibrations of the network due to strong wind, impact or vibration of an object lemurs, which often jump on the networks, by cuts of the network and has a memory of events so that even small cuts are added if made on different days.
Everything is powered by two solar panels that provide energy to a battery of 180 A, controlled by a charge controller which ensures a longer life, because we can never fall below the threshold level of about 30% charge.
The front door of the center is protected by a magnetic sensor and the network itself has a dynamic piezo-sensors.
for an acoustic signal in case of alarm, we installed two electronic sirens from 110 db and energy, to direct the sound alarm in two different areas.
addition, we installed 4 LED headlamp, low consumption, which in case of alarm, illuminate the entire fence even if light is not very strong, but enough to see if there is the presence of any intruder, the lights can also be also useful for testing are not necessarily nocturnal alarm activated. Both sirens and spotlights that are mounted on a pole in a central position within the enclosure.

The whole system has been tested in Italy for two months, even in low sunlight, producing excellent results.
All the materials were packed in 6 bags and transported by three directors of TCI who then installed the whole system.

Radicchio Rosso di Treviso Peculiarities of red chicory and varied CASTELFRANCO IGP

Winter Flowers
)

The radicchio di Treviso and Castelfranco Veneto are the ultimate gift of land, that when you fall asleep in the winter, greenish humility of the field, buried in the same moods of the season in dissolving lymph triumphal swell of giving them a color and a texture unrivaled. Red, the dominant tone of nature is dying, becomes resplendent in golden hues, and stands in its freshness as growing on stems of alabaster, to sing a life that defies the harsh winter and it benefits.
The "red" radicchio, with the whole palette of yellows, the greens, reds, whites, ochres, in the magnificent roses of Castelfranco radicchio, it becomes softer and softer. Strange, but in the radicchio, the soaring Gothic Line, and in Castelfranco, rococo scrolls from the smooth, almost seems to synthesize the ancient Venetian soul, from the ancestral religious observances, from deep moral rigor, hope turned to the heavens, until sensitive to the contemplation of nature, and taste to join peacefully with a simplicity that becomes refined use of the absolute joys it offers wisely and honestly to the senses.




The radicchio is a type of radicchio, leaves distinguishing trait known as "mottled" because of their special features that makes them appear similar in form, the rose, with leaves of cream and sprinkled with red dotted . The taste is very bitter, but gentle at the same time. The ruffle of this type of chicory, has a shape reminiscent of a flower with large leaves and slightly curled.

place on the cultivation of radicchio

Treviso red chicory, depending on the type (early or late) you sow directly to the open field during the period from late June to mid July.
not need to transplant because this affects the quality of the product.
The operation is done by machine rather than by hand, as they used to do when using a drill adapted for this purpose. It usually takes a lot of seed corresponding to 1200 kg. per hectare resulting in thinning completed, an actual investment of 6-7 plants per square meter.
With the seasonal pattern characterized by dry weather and windy, as may occur during that time is needed to repeat some actions of water for 2-3 days in order to promote seed germination.
is followed by respecting the order of priority, the milling and thinning to ensure the plant density required by the type of chicory used.



The collection for the radicchio, which is the most prestigious, begins in mid-November, is done by machine, rarely by hand, without use of a plow moldboard, pulled by a tractor. Proceed continuously, weather permitting, until total depletion of the plants present nell'appezzamento.
followed by the immediate formation of clusters that are placed side to the other huddled in a vertical position on the two grooves and the better placed here, giving enough land to pitons. It is then distributed to their protection from the harsh winter by small tunnels covered with a sheet of plastic is the (PVC or polyethylene).
This is identified with the name "phase preforzatura. In fact, under these tunnels
chicory remains, though slowly, its metabolic activity giving rise to a first draft of bud formation.
In this way the producer has the possibility to graduate the flow of product in the market in relation to the demands and prices charged at that place. In other words it means submitting to "Force-bleaching" (second phase) quantities definitely marketed at remunerative prices, taking into account the availability of family labor.
During the forced-whitening you transfer tunnels from small clusters (being forced) to be placed in special concrete tanks properly covered with a sheet of plastic draped over wooden arches or iron to form a tunnel of medium size. At the bottom of these tanks do not put them there sand sawdust, but you do it to run non-stop water from aquifers more or less deep (no more than 200 m).
special feature of this water is to have a constant temperature of 12 ° C which allows the regular formation of the shoot of radish which assumes the typical aspect with regard to consistency, the color of the leaf blade, the pure white of the Central Coast and the special and unique flavor of the ancient tradition of Treviso.
In these tanks remains for a period of 12 days or so at first, then the forcing occurs within 8-10 days, because in the meantime, the clumps are progressing in the development of tunnels beneath the small parking lot mentioned above (phase preforzatura) with the formation of numerous adventitious roots called "beards" through which the plant continues to maintain its vital functions in favor of the formation of the head.
After the time in forcing boxes, bundles of radicchio are placed in a special heated room temperature constant (20 ° C with relative humidity very high), where they stay for 2-3 days.
order will still use the stables or other specially equipped premises on the floor of which is spread a thin layer (2-3 cm.) Sand or sawdust to dry with the precise function of the tap-roots absorb the water.
this constitutes the third phase known as "finishing" as the heads of chicory come fully matured compared assuming the classical (morphological and color) that characterizes them.
Once the operation "finishing" it shall slegatura decks and the grooming of plants taking out all the leaves External more or less broken; to debarking, shaped and cut the root that must be shortened to a maximum of one third of the entire length of the head.
It then prepares a container (wooden or plastic tub) filled with fresh water for a quick wash in the plants before they are packed with due care in stackable boxes for their commencement to the wholesale markets to reach through various distribution channels, the consumer.

VE.KI.FA The Association for Children of Djangoa

The VE.KI.FA stands for Vehivavy Kintan'ny Fampandrosoana , it means Stars Women for Development.
It 's a young association of public benefit non-profit organization, founded in Madagascar at the initiative of a group of women from the rural community of Djangoa that, conscious of their social unease, are working effectively in the promotion of the projects' education, training, health education and job placement.
Since September 2008 the Association has opened a nursery named "Mamiko": two structures of wood and local materials. Currently 55 children are enrolled, followed by two teachers and an assistant. A
Djangoa there is also a public elementary school, but classes are overcrowded by an unreasonable number of children is often 80 to 100 students per teacher.
The overcrowding creates the invisibility of many children in school and often go away without teachers noticing causing distrust of formal education for the parents that the child feel responsible for a crime.
The "Mamiko" is proposed to provide support to the operation of the nursery "Mamiko" already exists and create a new structure for the elementary school in three years. Children are thus a place of care, socialization and training to develop their potential cognitive, emotional and social support for families with particular attention to one-parent families and facilitating women's access to employment and promoting the reconciliation of work activities and education of children.

PROJECT Construction of nursery school in the village of Mamiko Djangoa "

Djangoa The village is located in the rural area of \u200b\u200bAmbanja in the north of Madagascar in front of Nosy Be. E 'a capital of more than 10 scattered and isolated villages whose population exceeds 15,000 people. Half of the population are women and about 44% of them are under 15 years. 50% of the population works in the field of traditional fisheries, 49% live in agriculture and only 1% work in the tertiary sector. In essence, only 1% of the population had a monthly salary. BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROJECT

of the project are single mothers and women of the community of Ambanja. The illiteracy rate is very high and the situation of women is very hard, even for the traditional costumes that give it a marginal role. Many are in the position of having to provide for their families alone, a situation created by the abandonment by her husband, by his death or by the many cases of early pregnancy in girls. Moreover, most rural women are illiterate and unaware of their rights. Finally, the pregnancy has become a social phenomenon very worrying at a girls school ABSENCE heavy losses in the use of contraceptive methods. ITALIAN AND FOREIGN PARTNER

Tetezana Onlus Association of Rome and the Association of VE.KI.FA Djangoa. Contact Genevieve Soaritony. The project is sponsored by the city of Terni.

PROJECT COST The total cost amounts to approximately € 33,000.00. OBJECTIVE

The project aims to help women of the village, meeting the needs of the post allowing single mothers and women in general to work and not just leave the small children. Most women do not have a real job, but other activities such as fishing for shrimp by hand, harvest the sea cucumber, smoked fish, vemndere traditional sweets, cultivate vegetables or riso.Di Hence the need to create a structure to house and care for children when mothers are away for work, without having to leave the house unattended.

THE "TREE FESTIVAL 2010" LEGAMBIENTE

The sixteenth edition of the Festival of the Tree of Legambiente: all weekend for school children, citizens and the government will create a series of initiatives throughout Italy dedicated to planting of trees, to make the places we live in the most beautiful, green and breathable. Concrete action to combat climate change and prevention of hydrogeological, but also an opportunity to focus attention on the green plays in maintaining the environmental balance of the planet. At the weekend dedicated to the Feast of the tree Legambiente alongside the classic themes of respect for the green and pollution control, commitment to the conservation of habitat and ecosystem, in line with the proclaimed International Year of Biodiversity UN. "Italy is the country with the highest level of biodiversity in Europe and preserve this wealth is our prime duty, "said Vittorio Cogliati Dezza, president of Legambiente." This is a huge natural heritage capital of inestimable value for all of us greater biodiversity will strengthen the defenses against external aggression, are those posed by climate change or landslides, the introduction of genetically modified organisms or the activity of deforestation. More biodiversity will, ultimately, better quality of life for those living today and an area for future generations that will do it tomorrow. "
Biodiversity is also the central theme of the poetry competition for children of this issue. After the success of last year, in fact, Legambiente and Susanna Tamaro, spokesperson of the initiative, propose the contest "Biodi" race rhyming verses for children aged 7 to 13 years and, in collaboration with the publisher Giunti, animated reading of the book "The magic circle" that says the risk of loss of trees and extinction of flora and fauna. (Www.legambientescuolaformazione.it/documenti/2010/Campagne/BioDiVERSI.php)
In addition, for the fourth consecutive year Anve, the Exporters Association of Nurserymen, and renew the mutual Legambiente commitment to reducing the greenhouse effect with the operation "of one million trees for the climate" for at least five years nurseries dell'Anve keep planting a million shrubs that contribute significantly to carbon sequestration in excess. "This is the fourth year Anve fully supports the organization of the Festival of the Tree of Legambiente - said Maurizio Lapps, president of Anve - maintaining a significant amount of planting trees to give a tangible sign of the struggle that the nursery can carry forward against climate change. The enthusiasm with which the nurserymen Anve participated in this initiative demonstrates that the world of professional interest Green has the attention of all to urban pollution and greenhouse gas emissions reduction commitments that States must undertake. Representing an important sector of Italian agriculture, the nursery it is for the difficult task of describing the lines of sustainable development, capable of intercepting new applications for an increasingly difficult market. "Initiatives that are taking place from north to south in days of 19, 20 and 21 are many and the creation of new green areas, in addition to redevelop the area will help to convey important messages. Among the technical partners of the initiative, says the Fiskars Tree Day by providing products gardening that will facilitate the operations of planting. The holiday tree is sponsored by State Forestry. (AISE)

BIODIVERSITY OF 'THE WORLD IN ITALY

Today the Italian museums are extraordinary research on biodiversity, in many cases not only of Italian biodiversity, but also of many other countries around the world. Here are some examples:
- Trento-Tanzania: the elephant shrew in international cooperation. In Tanzania, research by Michele Menegon and Francesco Rovero of the Trento Museum of Natural Sciences, have discovered new species of amphibians and reptiles, including the elephant shrew (Rhynchocyon udzungwensis), with its more than 700 grams in weight and more than 560 mm in length is among the largest of the known ones. The research in Tanzania, one of the world's hot spots for biological richness, they also involved the local people living around the forests studied.

- Turin, the frogs of Madagascar and the very rare snake-worm. Together with WWF and the Zoological and Botanical Tzimbazaza, research by Franco Andreone the Regional Museum of Natural Sciences of Turin have discovered many new species of amphibians and reptiles of Madagascar, an island not yet reached by the pathogenic fungus that has decimated the amphibians in the rest of the world and this is a perfect laboratory for testing and preparatory actions protect the extraordinary malagasy frogs. Also in Madagascar have also zoologists Turin discovered a specimen of a rare kind of "snake-worm" (Xenotyphlops), enigmatic blind snake which had no news for over a century.

- Milan-Arabian Peninsula and the brooding "Solar Energy". Ornithologists of the Natural History Museum of Milan have described a previously unknown mode of incubation of the eggs, based on heating by the sun's heat: desert islands in the Arabian Peninsula Droma digging the tunnels that serve as incubators heated by the sun, while their parents dedicated to breeding only 28% of their time, leave their eggs for up to 58 hours. Apart Megapodidi, Galliformes widespread in Indonesia and Australia, leaving eggs and chicks to themselves after the deposition, similar cases are unknown among birds.

- Rome Mexico and the Middle East for hundreds of species ever seen. In recent years scholars of the Museum of Zoology University of Rome (Robert Winch, Valerio Sbordoni, Taglianti Augusto Vigna, Vincenzo Vomero Roman zoologists and many more) found in Mexico and the Middle East hundreds of species previously unknown to science.

- Rome-Australia and the new butterflies. Among the numerous searches of the Muses of Zoology of Rome, in 2009 the search for Alberto Zilli in Australia has discovered a new species of moth (Speiredona Darwinian), dedicated to Darwin in honor of the 150th of the publication of his work the origin of species.





few grains from the Collection - the most famous birds of Europe, 1 million shells and beetles are smaller than the world to the Museum of Zoology of Rome: the historical collection "Arrigoni degli Oddi" is the most famous collection European ornithology ever, about 15,000 specimens of birds from the period 1850-1930. With over one million specimens of shells, Monterosato collection, kept in "secret rooms" of the Museum, is one of the largest collections of Malacology (shells) around the world. And in Rome are also the world's smallest beetles, just half a millimeter long, part of the historical collection that includes nearly Luigioni 200.00 units. For lovers of the sea, the museum contains a diorama of the huge coral reef in the Red Sea, with a front display of nine meters. Dioramas
record in MILAN: It is the Museum of Natural History in Milan here the largest series Italian dioramas, up to 10 meters in front of each exhibit, to rebuild dozens of habitats, including prehistoric landscapes now lost, with pets from around the world.
The giant dinosaur in Bologna: the Museum of Paleontology Cappellini di Bologna houses a huge skeleton of Diplodocus, unique in Italy about 26 meters long and 4 high, arrived at the museum in 1909.
100 m watching in Calci (Pisa): the gallery of skeletons of cetaceans, a walk "underwater" no less than 100 meters long is the centerpiece of the Museum of Natural History and the Territory of Calci, the largest Italian collection of its kind.
Remember to stay in Genoa: the Natural History Museum of Genoa exhibits collections that are derived directly from the great voyages of exploration of the nineteenth century, with specimens from all over the world. Fish fossil
exclusive VERONA: Not far from the city, the field of Bolca in prehistoric times occupied by the sea, is an inexhaustible source of fish fossils, still mined today exclusively by members of one family and kept in the Natural History Museum of Verona.
Marine organisms of Naples: the last century, the Zoological Station Anton Dohrn is the most important marine biology research center in Italy, also appreciated by Darwin, with whom Anton Dohrn was in direct contact. The museum houses collections of marine organisms (difficult to manage because they are made mostly of water) prepared in a spectacular way.

WATER: ARSENIC BANNED FOR 1 MILLION IN CASE OF ITALIAN: Off 128 IN COMMON

ROME \\ aise \\ - "The usual mess" Italian. "The exceptions were intended to address and resolve definitively the problem, which is known, the concentration of certain pollutants in the water distributed in some regions and instead have become yet another ploy not to intervene. Luckily we thought Europe to stop the perpetration of a practice detrimental to public health. Now the municipalities involved to do what they have already had to do immediately after requesting the exemption, namely, informing the public and put under the aqueducts. But do not generalize, 59 million Italians have no problem with arsenic in drinking water and tap water can count on guaranteed quality and controlled. "So the scientist in charge of Legambiente Ciafani Stefano commented on the decision of the Commission European Union not to provide a third exception to Italian municipalities where drinking water contains arsenic concentrations far above the limit Law (10 micrograms per liter). The environmental organization in a document takes stock of the situation on waivers and possible solutions, pointing out that out of 157 municipalities that had applied for three parameters (boron, fluoride and arsenic), 128 have not obtained because they sull'arsenico asked to increase its concentration in water determined by the value of 10 micrograms per liter to 30, 40 or 50 micrograms per liter and was granted up to a maximum of two years to 92 municipalities for the fluoride to 17 for boron and 8 for arsenic, but only up to 20 micrograms, according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). "To be within the limits - added Ciafani - simply proceed to operative treatment in a few months, as has already happened in different parts of Italy. In fact, in 2003, requests for exemption were made by 13 regions out of 10 parameters and in February 2010, the renewal request submitted by Italy was limited to six regions (Campania, Lazio, Lombardy, Tuscany, Trentino Alto Adige, Umbria) for three parameters. So - concludes Ciafani - the reduction of demands, both in terms of territories that the parameters involved shows that, with appropriate investment, you can get out of the exemption by ensuring that people drinking water in compliance with the law. "Legambiente remember that municipalities that have received the exemption should come into compliance within the next 10 months and particularly in areas where there will be presentations has been renewed for more than 175 million €, aimed to reduce the concentrations of arsenic, fluoride and boron in the waters and thus avoid having to resort to new exceptions. The project involves the construction of new water systems or for the supply of water from sources that have concentration values \u200b\u200blower than those of substances regulated by law, or the realization of treatment systems and water mixing. The exemptions are valid for three years which can be renewed for up to two more times. The first two exceptions are decided by the Ministry of Health while the third should have the green light by the European Commission.
