BOLZANO. “It is not enough for us to know that Autostrada del Brennero will invest over nine billion to expand the road network. We want to know the numbers of polluting emissions and the impact on public healthenvironmental projects and concrete measures to reduce pollution and improve the quality of life of the populations residing along the motorway corridor“, so the provincial councilor of Team K Franz Ploner. According to the South Tyrolean movement “the regional council minimizes the environmental impact of the A22 on public health and hides behind political inertia.” In a question, Team K asked the regional council to solicit Autobrennero Spa “a promote integrated studies on the impact of pollution on health in areas along the highway, using innovative tools such as artificial intelligence and predictive models”. The advisors Franz Ploner, Paul Köllensperger, Alex Ploner e Mary Rieder they also called for the integration of the sustainability report with “more detailed data and to apply more advanced models such as Esposoma and One Health to improve the understanding of health risks”. In the opinion of the members of Team K “once again the answers provided by the Council were evasive and lacking”.
