The traditional approach for a contaminated land assessment is often based on in situ sampling and subsequent chemical analyses. This procedure requires a large amount of resources, time and money, but in most cases it is also compulsory to have the results as soon as possible. It is clear that the need for a new technology that can solve the problem is particularly essential. Today the best available technologies for a rapid and effective environmental monitoring are based on remote and proximal sensing, and in this respect IR thermography plays a fundamental role [Lega et al. 2008-2015].
