(ANSA) - Fiumicino, May 29 - Italian health officials said on Friday that although there is no "significant increase in health risk" at Rome's Fiumicino airport which was ravaged by a fire earlier in the month, more analysis is needed.
    The regional office of national health agency ASL said that first four days of monitoring for toxins at Fiumicino "does not suggest a significant increase in health risk" and added that although there were "normal" levels of air pollutants, there was "need to continue the monitoring of the air" and "to adopt, as a precaution, all measures of protection to public health".
    On Friday, eight environmental detectors were installed in the terminal to monitor air quality.
    National carrier Alitalia said that a lack of information encouraged the carrier to commission the National Research Council for "further survey to check the air quality at Terminal 3".
    Workers had expressed concern and worry.
