"Monitoraggio Biologico della Qualità dell'Aria: Stato
dell'Arte"
di
Gaetano Cecchetti, Marcelo Enrique Conti

Premessa
 

Negli studi di impatto ambientale e soprattutto nelle autorizzazioni con prescrizioni da parte del Ministero dell'Ambiente vengono spesso richieste indagini e controlli attraverso indicatori biologici quali validi strumenti di verifica dello stato di qualità dell'aria conseguente alle opere (specie impianti industriali) oggetto di V.I.A. La mini-rassegna, pubblicata sull'ultimo numero di Ambiente Risorse Salute e della quale viene di seguito riportata la bibliografia completa, si propone di analizzare alcuni degli aspetti teorici del monitoraggio biologico e di fare lo stato dell'arte per alcuni dei bioindicatori più importanti usati per lo studio e la valutazione della qualità dell'aria. Lo scopo del lavoro è quello di segnalare le linee più importanti dello stato attuale delle conoscenze in materia nonché fornire un valido strumento di aggiornamento e/o dibattito.
