Abstrakt: The use of an Integrated Environmental Monitoring System is an innovative and very important approach for the determination of environmental impacts due to a contamination source. In the present work, the methodological approach is described and applied to the case study of a MSW incineration plant. Heavy metals were chosen as Environmental Indicators. Gaseous emissions were measured and correlated to wet and dry depositions, soil and vegetation samples. Results show a good correlation between stack emissions and atmospheric depositions; less with soil and vegetation, but these results are important in order to design a standard procedure for an Integrated Monitoring System.
