The Air Quality Report - 2023 Edition, which describes the state and trend of air pollution in Italy, was presented on 15 March in Turin. In 2023, the annual limit values for atmospheric particulate matter PM10 were respected at all measurement points, as were those for PM2.5 (311 out of 312), with an average reduction for the latter of approximately 13% compared to the average of decade 2013-2022. The daily limit value for PM10 was also respected in 89% of the monitoring stations, with exceptions concentrated above all in the north-east area of the Po basin (47 out of 63 exceedances), in the Vesuvius area and in the province of Frosinone. The annual value of nitrogen dioxide is within the limits in almost all monitoring stations (98%), which in 2023 marks a reduction of 19% compared to the decade 2013-2022. The exceedances occur in stations influenced by high road traffic flows: Turin, Milan, Brescia, Genoa, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples, Catania and Palermo. "SNPA contributes to the pursuit of homogeneous levels of environmental protection throughout Italy. With 650 air quality monitoring stations it has one of the largest facilities in Europe and produces 25 million data per year” declared the President of ISPRA and SNPA, Stefano Laporta. "The 2023 data outline an improvement compared to the recent past. But situations of non-compliance with the limit values persist and we have fallen far behind the deadlines set by the EU directives" declared the ISPRA General Director, Maria Siclari.
