The measurement of particles in the air registers values well below the threshold limit for taking extraordinary measures.
Technicians from 112 Aragón expect the number to continue decreasing as the fire at the waste management plant is brought under control.
The mayor of Fraga, Ignacio Gramún, along with local police officers and technicians from the 112 Aragón emergency services, held a meeting early Tuesday morning to continue assessing the progress of the fire at the waste management plant. Following the meeting, measurements of particulate matter concentration in the air were taken at various points throughout the city, and it was determined that the recorded levels are well below the threshold that triggers the need for extraordinary measures . In this regard, the 112 Aragón technicians anticipate that the concentration of particulate matter in the air will continue to decrease as the fire is contained in the coming days.
Furthermore, even though official measurements have shown safe levels for the general population, the 112 Aragón emergency services recommend the preventive use of face masks in buildings near the fire . This recommendation is due to the current weather conditions, characterized by the absence of strong gusts of wind, a period of atmospheric stability that is expected to continue over the next few days.
Therefore, the Fraga City Council is maintaining constant monitoring of the situation and will continue to report any new developments to ensure the safety of residents.
