It might be renowned as the European capital of design, fashion and football, but Milan has a rather less glamorous aspect: its reputation as the Continent's most polluted city.New evidence suggests levels of toxic fumes from its traffic-clogged streets are having an alarming effect on infant mortality rates, and sending thousands of children to the city's accident and emergency departments.The warning from doctors at Milan's Macedonio Melloni hospital comes despite the city's much trumpeted new "ecopass" congestion charge, which was designed to slash air pollution.Since its introduction in January, levels of pm10s - tiny particles less than 10 micrometres (um) in diameter produced by vehicle exhausts - have already breached the official EU safety level levels on 36 days out of 60.On 15 February, in one of the worst days on record, levels peaked at 185 micrograms per cubic metre of air - almost four times over the official limit.Even the city's chain-smoking fashionistas are donning anti-smog masks.Masks however, won't stop the smaller, most dangerous pm10s, those with a diameter of less than 2.5 um, from passing deep into the lungs, from where they can cause breathing problems, heart disease and cancer.In 2004 a report by the World Health Organisation estimated that in Italy's most polluted urban centres, 9 per cent of non accident-related deaths among the over-30s were due to pm10s.The latest research suggests that children are also being hit hardest by the airborne pollutants.
