[PDF][PDF] Microorganic pollutants in the outskirts of Rome
Annali di chimica, 2003•academia.edu
A short field campaign was performed in the outskirts of Rome at four sites located pretty
along the four rose wind directions to city centre. Both chlorinated (PCB and PCDD/F) and
non-chlorinated (n-alkanes, PAH, nitrated-PAH, n-alkanoic acids) organic micropollutants
were investigated for their contents in the atmosphere. Concentrations reached by these
pollutants in the outskirts were compared to those found in downtown Rome, both inside and
outside of its largest city garden. Although concentrations of organic pollutants found in the …

Riassunto
Una breve campagna di misura è stata condotta nei dintorni di Roma, in quattro località situate approssimativamente in direzione dei quattro punti cardinali dal centro della città. Sono state valutate le concentrazioni in aria sia dei microinquinanti clorurati (PCB e PCDD/F) sia di quelli non clorurati (n-alcani, IPA, nitro-IPA e acidi n-alcanoici). Le concentrazioni raggiunte da questi inquinanti nel suburbio sono stati confrontati con quelli trovati nel centro di Roma, all’interno e fuori del più esteso parco cittadino. I valori degli inquinanti organici registrati in periferia erano bassi, e tuttavia sufficienti da indurre un significativo rischio sanitario per le persone. I siti rurali hanno mostrato livelli di inquinamento inferiori alle aree industriali e di smaltimento dei rifiuti
