Groundwater diffuse pollution in functional urban areas: The need to define anthropogenic diffuse pollution background levels.
Arianna Azzellino,Loris Colombo,Silvia Lombi,Valeria Marchesi,A Piana,Merri Andrea,Luca Alberti +6 more
TL;DR: This study offers a robust knowledge basis for drafting a diffuse pollution management plan of the area and identifies five main clusters, having specific hydrogeological characteristics, different temporal profiles and pollutant background concentration levels, which were found to respond differently to meteo-climatic changes.

Null-space Monte Carlo particle tracking to assess groundwater PCE (Tetrachloroethene) diffuse pollution in north-eastern Milan functional urban area.
TL;DR: This paper describes a methodology devised to identify the areas with the highest likelihood to host potential Multiple-Point Sources (MPS), consisting in a series of unidentifiable small sources clustered within large areas, generating an anthropogenic diffuse contamination.
Influence of underground structures and infrastructures on the groundwater level in the urban area of milan, italy
TL;DR: In this paper, the case of Milan (Italy) is discussed by means of the following steps: (1) monitoring data analysis for reconstructing the regional increasing trend of the water table; (2) numerical modeling of the groundwater flow system in steady state; (3) numerical modelling of the interference of underground structures and infrastructures with the aquifer system.
Source Apportionment Assessment of Marine Sediment Contamination in a Post-Industrial Area (Bagnoli, Naples)
Sara Giglioli,Loris Colombo,Pasquale Contestabile,Luigi Musco,Giovanna Armiento,Renato Somma,Diego Vicinanza,Arianna Azzellino +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed contaminant concentrations (i.e., heavy metals and hydrocarbons) in seabed sediments through a statistical multivariate approach and found that the main contamination source in the Bagnoli bay is anthropogenic activities for the majority of investigated pollutants.
Spatial Statistical Assessment of Groundwater PCE (Tetrachloroethylene) Diffuse Contamination in Urban Areas
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a methodology devised to cope with the diffuse contamination by chlorinated solvents within shallow aquifers due to multiple-point sources in functional urban areas.
