Two papers will be coordinated by ISAC - CNR and they are in preparation. The first one will be based on high-temporal resolution measurements of particle concentration in number and mass (in different sizes ranging from 0.01 to 32 ?m) and relative meteorological parameters, taken in both experimental sites (Venice and Rijeka). Furthermore, since the same instrumental setup was used, a possible comparison with previous works performed in Adriatic harbours, like Brindisi and Venice, will be reported, estimating ship traffic contribution in each port-city. The second study could be focused on elemental and organic carbon (EC, OC) determinations carried out from size segregated particulate samples collected in both sites by a 10-stages micro-orifice impactor (MOUDI 110NR) equipped with quartz fiber filters. Results of both campaigns will be compared and discussed interpreting the differences observed in the two sites. This will be one of the few studies in speciation of carbonaceous aerosol in different size ranges, obtaining size distribution of EC and OC in a harbour area. In fact, the most scientific literature aims to characterize particulate (PM10 or PM2.5) without analyzing chemical components distribution in function to particle size. The last two publications have been coordinated by University Ca' Foscari of Venice and University of Rijeka. In one of these, a complete chemical analysis (major iones, trace metals, and carbonaceous species) of size-segregated samples collected in Venice was performed followed by the application of the PMF (Positive Matrix Factorization) receptor model to investigate the contributions of the different sources acting on the area putting in evidence the weight of shipping compared to the other sources. The second paper is based on a similar post-processing applied to the size-segregated samples collected in Rijeka.

Questo rapporto riassume i risultati ottenuti durante il progetto ECOMOBILITY - riguardo lo studio dell'impatto da traffico navale sul particolato atmosferico - nella città di Venezia. E' stato redatto in lingua italiana, con lo scopo di comunicare i risultati del progetto in modo più semplice ed immediato ad Autorità Portuale di Venezia (stakeholder del progetto) e al pubblico locale. SOMMARIO: 1. Introduzione; 2. Metodi utilizzati per l'elaborazione dei dati ad alta risoluzione; 3. Metodi utilizzati per l'elaborazione dei dati chimici; 4. Dati precedentemente disponibili a Venezia e Rijeka; 5. Discussione dei risultati; 5.1. Impatto da misure ad alta risoluzione; 5.2. Impatto da misure chimiche di vanadio.

This report tries to fill some of these gaps applying the methodologies based on both chemical characterization of particulate matter and high-temporal resolution online measurements, used in the POSEIDON project (Pollution Monitoring of ship emissions: an Integrated approach for harbours in the Adriatic basin, Interreg MED program 2007-2013) that is capitalized in ECOMOBILITY, to characterize the impact of ship traffic to particulate matter of different size starting from nanoparticles and up to PM10. The same approach and the same measurement instruments have been used in the two areas (Venice and Rijeka) to ensure comparability of results. The report is organized in the following sections: 1) Chapter 1 is the introduction; 2) Chapter 2 describes the methodology used for post-processing high-temporal resolution data; 3) Chapter 3 describes the methodology used for post-processing of size-segregated chemical composition; 4) Chapter 4 summarises data previously available in Venice and Rijeka regarding the impact of shipping to atmospheric particulate matter; 5) Chapter 5 discusses the results obtained in ECOMOBILITY regarding the impact of shipping to atmospheric particles of different size obtained; 6) Chapter 6 includes a comparison of the impacts of shipping to atmospheric particulate matter in Venice and Rijeka; 7) Conclusions and bibliographic references follow.
