The Directorate General for the Environment, under the Ministry of Agriculture and Water, has started the record of hiring two studies to deepen the knowledge of pollution episodes that caused odors and inconvenience to the public in the town of Sewell and its environment.
The aim is to identify the causes to prevent these situations from reproducing.
One study is for terrestrial remote sensing of gases, which will more accurately identify or exclude substances that may be the source of such episodes.
This system would consist of a hyperspectral camera supports recording continuously for two weeks of work, moving the equipment according to the technical specifications and during the times that are marked by the experts from the Directorate General.
The digital recording and storage in cabinet making possible more detailed studies.
The hyperspectral data collection of each pixel will corregistrada and tested with the database at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), incorporating hyperspectral signatures of more than 100 previously gaseous laboratory measurements.
This technology and its methodological developments will complement the data recorded by the Regional Monitoring Network Air Quality, and evaluate the possibility that this technology should be incorporated by different industries or activities in the area to rule out or confirm potential leaks or emissions of substances or parameters not measured by the Network Monitoring.
The other study, which was conducted with the participation of the University of Murcia, is object modeling potential pollution episodes (odoriferous, air quality ...) and singularly unpleasant odors in the town of Sewell and his engagement with the situation weather.
This would characterize the spatio-temporal similar to past episodes contamination patterns.
The benefits / applications that would be obtained with this action would be several: to improve the knowledge of the 'weather pollution' in the vicinity of Sewell, determine or rule out potential situations of high pollution in time and space, and weather situations given and helps the planning and implementation of preventive measures in industrial and urban areas.
Hiring this work is part of a package of measures at various meetings coordinated by the Directorate General for the Environment, held in the months of February, March and April this year, with the participation of the Emergency Department and Public Safety, the City Sewer and different research groups of the University of Murcia.
New studies
Besides the two works mentioned, it is valuing the development of further studies to identify substances that may intervene in any episodes of discomfort and processes in which they originate, to be developed by the Research Group on Health and Safety Industry, University of Murcia, complementary to those already made by this research group in previous years.
Environment also began months ago to record the necessary acquisition of different analyzers substances to supplement those already installed on the Network Monitoring Regional Air Quality.
The ultimate goal of the measures being taken to ensure the welfare of citizens, so that the monitoring and supervision not only of atmospheric parameters imposed by the relevant air quality is made, but progress increasingly the implementation of new and better techniques in industry to reduce the current to reach threshold values.
All these aspects and measures are collected, among others, in the Draft Regional Air Quality Plan for that in advance at the start of processing for approval, has begun a period of discussion and consultation with various government and public sectors involved through public display in air quality agencies in the Region of Murcia.
To influence debate and in order to improve your writing before the start of processing, the Directorate General of Environment has also called for next September a meeting of the Committee on Temporary Employment of Regional Advisory Council on the Environment , to carry out an initial analysis of the draft, with the aim of incorporating the text proposals and suggestions of its members, in addition to those collected from different public administrations and agencies, institutions and social and economic partners consulted.
