摘要

Background: In the City of Milan, the local Authorities, in order to reduce the traffic-related pollution, introduced a Limited Traffic Zone (LTZ) by charging a fee to all vehicles entering into the city center since 2008. This initiative, started as a 'pollution charge' called ECOPASS was re-formulated in 2012 as a 'congestion charge' called AREA C. In addition, during high pollution episodes due to persistent stable atmosphere events, typical of the Po Valley winter, they may decide to adopt 'Car-free days' or traffic stops as done on several Sundays in 2011, 2013 and on working days on 2015. Objective: To compare the Black Carbon (BC) content in Particular Matter (PM) - the BC/PM10 ratio - an empirical indicator of presence of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, inside/outside the ECOPASS/AREA C zone and during/after the time period interested in the mitigation actions. Method: BC was measured using the aethalometers model AE31 (Magee Scientific) and AE51 (Aethlab) and PM using pre-calibrated Optical Particle Counter (OPC) Aerocet 531 (Metone Instruments). Procedure: Instruments operated at kerbside and third floor levels in several measurements campaigns, in Summer, Autumn, Winter, and during/after the Car-free days or traffic stops. Results: No statistically significant difference resulted in the PM10 concentrations in all measurements campaigns, meanwhile, on average BC/PM10 ratio decreased in Summer by 50%, and in Autumn and Winter by 32%, despite the interference of the residential heating power plants within the Ecopass/AREA C zone as compared to no-restriction zone. Improvement of the BC/PM10 ratio was measured not only at the kerbside but also at the third floor level: reduction of about 25% as compared to third floor levels in no-restriction zone. On Sunday days traffic stops reductions in BC/PM10 was ranging from 41 to 53%. During working days traffic stops the reduction was 51% at kerbside and 26% at third floor level. Conclusion: Measured reductions are corresponding to a difference of one to three BC change units between in/out LTZ and during/after Car-free days or traffic stops with a corresponding personal exposure reduction to traffic generated toxic and carcinogenic pollutants and consequent important health benefits for the residents, commuters and 'city users' with particular benefits for most sensitive ones such as children, pregnancy women, elder or sick people, reducing the burden of diseases and mortality due to traffic-proximity pollutants exposure.
