Increasing salinity and euxinic water conditions favour a growth of residence time of toxic elements in those river waters. © 2020 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. The authors dealt also with the main As removal technologies and the potential application of combined chemical and biological strategies aiming at increasing the efficiency of biological As (III) oxidation to As (V) by means of cell-detoxifying mechanisms or metabolic processes. 236/88 is the first example of the enforcement of a Community Directive (Directive 80/778 EEC regarding the quality of water destined for human use) from the Italian State. Discharges are differentiated in: All discharges must be authorized allocating jurisdiction to the release of authorizations from Provinces except for discharges from public sewage system which require authorization of controlling bodies. This issue of Rendiconti Lincei includes a number of papers that do not focus onto a single subject of general interest. (this issue).

An online course, be used alone or in class, to complement the curriculum or to recover debits. We selected ten of the oral presentations and three posters as representative of the best research on the subject to be included in this issue of Rendiconti. The D.P.R. Consequently, pollution affects the waters too, both those running on and those moving in the near surface aquifers; or—to say it more precisely—certain Italian waters may exceed the safety limits set by the European Community for agricultural and industrial uses. Alberotanza, L. and G. Zucchetta, Caratteristiche del1e acque della Laguna di Venezia (Bacino Centrale), CNR-ISDGM, CCID, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989. Dr. Giovanna Armiento, acting as spokesperson for a large group of researcher of ENEA, reported a comprehensive overview regarding U concentrations in natural waters (Armiento et al. Rend Fis Acc Lincei.
Redox conditions as well as bicarbonates and silicates control solution equilibria influence strongly the U content in waters. 2016), again from the Salento University, in their poster applied the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework to the case study of Grecía Salentina, with the aim at identifying environmental and human factors influencing the quality of groundwater and at proposing strategies for its preservation. Rend Fis Acc Lincei. The oxygen/hydrogen water isotopes represent a snapshot of the current climatic conditions: their study aims at contributing to the future construction of a hydro-archive, updated to evaluate on-going climatic changes. Italy (Italian: Italia ()), officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica Italiana [reˈpubblika itaˈljaːna]), is a country consisting of a peninsula delimited by the Alps and surrounded by several islands.Italy is located in south-central Europe, and is considered part of western Europe. Unable to display preview. If so, which chemical elements should have priority, as being the most dangerous to the national welfare? Fis.
This law regulates the quality of water destined for human consumption and defines maximum allowable concentration (MAC) and guideline values (GV) for different chemical and microbiological parameters, indicated by the law itself. Italy has the major concentrations of pollutants, along with Germany and France. The “geochemical risk” and “natural contamination” of soils and water: awareness and policy approach in Europe with a focus on Italy.
Among the examples given, he insisted particularly on As, but also on F and U, as being all factors of geochemical risk over large areas of Latium. Statistical analyses were performed on 567 measurements taken monthly during a four year period and based on 14 physical and chemical parameters.
Correspondence to By taking into account eleven indicators for the Driving forces, five for Pressures, twenty-one for States, two for Impacts and three for Responses, they could suggest hypotheses regarding the causes of poor water quality and, correspondingly, propose management strategies to correct the negative aspects of the overall state of health of the aquifer.

2016). The natural background levels differ at the groundwater full body scale reflecting the complexity of the geological asset. 26, pp.
Rather, they contribute to the general problem by dealing with rarely used methodological approaches or by describing the water situation in poorly studied, secluded areas (e.g., Grecía Salentina, a few villages at the very centre of the heel of the boot representative of the Italian peninsula). Dominant factor determining the trace element spatial variability is the sediment–water interaction, while their temporal variation is a combination of the organic matter content and of the water table oscillations, which in turn drive the groundwater redox status.

In the ‘70s, with the Legge Merli, was perceived for the first time the exigency to indicate in detail polluting substances posing limits to their discharge into water and their concentration regulating the topic of discharges.
All presentations dealt with various properties of the flowing waters sampled in the Po delta.
The D.P.R. The first paper, given orally (Marchina et al. Next year’s meeting will answer many of these queries, but only because the path has been set by this year’s one. © 2020 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. pp 481-496 | They described the results gathered on an area of south-central Sicily, where this phenomenon is at its worst because of the occurrence of abandoned landfills of sulphur, salt and kainite dismissed mines. The geology of Italy is such as to present numerous areas where high levels of pollution affect soils because of natural causes (mainly related to their near or distant volcanic origin).

The establishment of the Optimal Territorial Ambits (ATO) and Responsible Authority for each ATO has introduced a subject regulating alone the management of all public services of collection, adduction and distribution of water for civil uses, sewage and purification of waste water. The particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are the most problematic pollutants. Not affiliated With regards to discharges, the decree identifies three types of waste water, industrial, domestic and urban, establishing for each of them a different type of control.

To inform younger students about Energy and Environment, Science, Chemistry, English culture and English language, with accompanying images, interviews and videos. Stating the well-known and still valid quote of Paracelsus “the dose makes the poison”, Dr. Carlo Cremisini of ENEA—the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development—gave the introductory lecture (Cremisini and Armiento 2016). And for the winners, production of animated short films! The targets of water preservation from pollution are prevention and reduction of pollution of polluted water bodies as well as their recovery; protection of water destined for specific uses; pursuing of sustainable uses of water resources and maintaining natural self-purification capacities of water bodies. doi:10.1007/s12210-015-0488-0 Should researchers freely supply their data, despite being incomplete, so that a correct scientific information will transform contamination into a political issue, up to the regulations enforced, but widely disregarded, by the European Community?

Finally, within Draft Law N. 152 of April 2006 that contains different laws concerning environmental safeguard, an important part is dedicated to water preservation from pollution and management of water resources.

Cite as. When writing this editorial six months after the conference, we ask ourselves what will turn out from next year’s meeting, which will address specifically the anthropogenic chemical pollution detected in soils and waters. Main results are: (1) one can to discriminate natural (i.e., geogenic) and anthropogenic components; (2) one can trace geochemical fluxes transferred from the Po river to the Adriatic Sea; (3) using total C properly speciated in its organic and inorganic components, one can determine the provenance of the particles from either the Alps or the Apennines; (4) using N speciation, one may get insights on the pollution affecting the river, thus forecast possible Adriatic eutrophication episodes.

Moreover, it establishes protected areas for water resources distinguishing between complete preservation areas, areas of respect and areas of protection. (this issue), Avino P, Capannesi G, Rosada A, Vitali M, Protano C, Notardonato I (2016) The water supply of Rome: an “almost” unique case.

Should certain elements be classified as second rank in importance, although harmful, in order not to interfere with decontamination and with industrial or agricultural processes that bring benefits to the entire country?
