Microinquinanti Organici e Inorganici nell'area di Mantove: Studio dei Livelli Ambientali. (Organic and Inororganic Micropollutants within the Mantua Area (Italy): Study on Enviornmmental Levels.)

摘要

The Istituto Superiore di Sanita (the National Institute of Health in Italy) and the Mantua Local Health Unit have carried out a research programme aimed at locating the highest exposure risk areas, and evaluating and assessing contamination levels in air and soil by both organic (Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and Polychlorinated dibenzofurans, PCDD/F; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAH) and inorganic (arsenic, cadmium, nickel, lead, cupper, vanadium) micropollutants within the surrounding Mantua industrial area. This report shows the results of environmental monitoring carried out in air, soil and sediment and the consequent comparison with the World Health Organization quality standards, reported into the Italian and European Community legislation.
