I am often reminded of the famous saying Goethe: "Vedi Napoli e poi muori! - See Naples and die!". Sadly, is now confronted with a number serious, ongoing problems need to alleviate pressure on worsening environment. One serious problem facing environment presence potentially hazardous persistent organic pollutants (POPs), although few systematic studies at regional scale have been conducted. In this study, samples soil, air, bulk deposition were collected in metropolitan area (NMA)...
The coastline of the Gulf Naples, Italy, is characterized by a series infrastructures strategic importance, including touristic and commercial ports between Pozzuoli to Sorrento, main roads, railways, urban areas. Furthermore, Naples hosts an intense traffic maritime routes. risk associated with extreme marine events hence very significant over this coastal area. On 28 December 2020, was hit sea storm, severe consequences. This study focuses on waterfront area Via Partenope, where waves...
Abstract. Along the coastline of Phlegraean Fields volcanic district, near Naples (Italy), severe retreat processes affect a large part coastal cliffs, mainly made fractured tuff and pyroclastic deposits. Progressive fracturing deformation rocks can lead to hazardous sudden slope failures on cliffs. Among triggering mechanisms, most relevant are related meteorological factors, such as precipitation thermal expansion due solar heating rock surfaces. In this paper, we present database...
We characterize the meteo-climate data of urban area Naples to determine areal and seasonal distribution energy demand needed heat or cool its buildings.Naples is a one million people city facing Tyrrhenian Sea in Central Italy with complex morphology made hills valleys, spanning altitude from 0 400 m asl.We use heating degree days (HDD) relative 20°C base cooling (CDD) humidex index 25 base.HDD CDD are derived measurements outside air temperature humidity taken eight weather stations...
Aree urbane e modalita di risposta agli eventi pluviometrici estremi: analisi del fenomeno stratLe parti piu vulnerabili territorio antropizzato sono rappresentate dalle aree (piccole grandi), inserite in contesti geo-ambientali i cui equilibri resi instabili da modificazioni fisiche naturali (per es.:cambiamento delle condizioni climatiche) e/o trasformazioni provocate dagli interventi dell’uomo (realizzazionedi infrastrutture, attivita rappresentata alcuni, senso dispregiativo, col termine...
Il lavoro di tesi ha affrontato la problematica dell'inquinamento atmosferico presente nell'area metropolitana Napoli, indagando su tutte le componenti strutturali e meteorologiche che svolgono un ruolo attivo nel fenomeno. I risultati confermano il primaria importanza svolto dalle condizioni ed evidenziano forte predisposizione a superare i valori limite concentrazione del parametro PM10 si osserva Napoli dipende, in molti casi, dalla sovrapposizione delle principali dinamiche fisiche...
Abstract. Along the coastline of Campi Flegrei volcanic district, near Naples (Italy), severe retreat processes affect a large part coastal cliffs, mainly made fractured tuff and pyroclastic deposits. Progressive fracturing deformation rocks can lead to hazardous sudden slope failures on cliffs. Among triggering mechanisms, most relevant are related meteorological factors, such as precipitation, freezing conditions, thermal expansion due solar heating rock surfaces. In this paper, we present...
Over the last two decades, Campania region in Italy has been focus of public debate and concern about environmental issues. Using data from soil, water, air, vegetables, animal products, human blood, a multimedia monitoring study was performed to measure contribution persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pollution region. We report results for range POPs including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated...
