New instrumentation for aerial gradiometric survey

The SAGAcE (Sistema Avanzato di MonitoraGgio AmbiEntale- ADVANCED ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING SYSTEM) project which has as its main objective the environmental monitoring of water, air and soil. To know the state of the environment with objective data, it is advisable to create detection systems located throughout the territory, which periodically acquire a series of specific parameters for the main environmental matrices (air, water and soil), or which allow, if necessary, a punctual detection, through specific missions, of the quantity of pollutants in large areas and with low costs. With these systems it is possible to define the safety conditions of the areas in question, controlling and preventing the pollution factors in order to comply with current regulations. The state of the environment has an important influence on the state of conservation of archaeological and monumental assets. In this work some of the results of the project are presented.
