Protection of the environment has been of public concern for many years in Italy and many institutions here are involved in this field. However, the advantages offered by the improvement of the quality of the environment are not always considered in economic terms, even though a rigorous evaluation of the relationships between economy and environment should help us to better understand how protection of the environment is related to economic development and social benefits.

Ballarin-Denti, A. (Universita Cattolica di Brescia, Brescia (Italy). Dip. Matematica e Fisica) | Bussotti, F. | Cozzi, A. | Krauchi, N. | Gerosa, G. | Schaub, M. | Skelly, J. M. | Tagliaferri, A.
Many previous studies evidenced very high levels of air pollution by ozone between the North Italy (Lombardy) and the Southern Switzerland (Canton Ticino). These levels are mostly attributed to the influence of the large urbanized area of Milan and to the urban and industrial settlements in the Po Valley. Recent researches revealed the existence of spread foliar ozone-like symptoms in many native plant species, both in the Swiss and in Italian sector. Experiments carried out in open top chambers in Canton Ticino allowed us to attribute the foliar symptoms to the ambient air pollution levels

The results indicate that it is possible to reach a good level of reproducibility in a relatively short time. However, quality assurance procedures allow to know the real status of reliability of the field data. More attention must be given to the Level II indices, to select the really useful and informative ones, and to concentrate on these the didactic efforts

Herman, F. (Institute fur Immissionsforschung und Forstchemie, Vienna (Austria)) | Smidt, S. | Englisch, M. | Feichtinger, F. | Gerzabek, M. | Haberhauer, G. | Jandl, R. | Kalina, M. | Zechmeister-Boltenstern, S.
In the North Tyrolean Limestone Alps a site was investigated over a four-year period (1998-2001) in order to assess the nitrogen saturation status, the nitrogen budget (quantification of the net uptake of nitrogen by the canopy and of the nitrogen mineralization, nitrogen uptake from roots and N2O emission rates, proof of the origin of nitrate in the soil water with stable isotope analyses, and the effects of the actual nitrogen input on ground water quality. The main goals were to quantify the nitrogen input rate, the nitrogen pools in above-ground and below-ground compartments, nitrogen turnover processes in the soil as well as the output into the groundwater and into the atmosphere. The findings are based on continuous and discontinuous field measurements as well as on model results
