Comparative investigations among meteorological conditions, air chemical-physical pollutants and airborne particulate mutagenicity: a long-term study (1990-1994) from a northern Italian town.
The findings of a continuos monitoring (Apr90-Mar94) on urban air quality of a Po Valley town are reported. Chemical-physical and genotoxicity data were detected. The results show the presence of mutagenic agents during the whole investigated period. Short term mutagenesis tests together with chemical-physical parameters analysis are able to better assess air quality and genotoxic risk for the population.
