Organizational and ergonomic analysis of forest work in the italian alps
International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 1990Abstract The authors report the first results of a global survey on the working conditions in the forests of the Italian Alps, where the mechanization of the operations is limited, owing to the difficult geomorphological conditions. First, an organizational analysis was performed in all the phases of forest work by using the method of organizational

Occurrence of PAH in the seasonal snowpack of the Eastern Italian Alps
Environmental Pollution, 2010PAH concentrations have been determined in 47 seasonal snowpack samples collected in the Valbelluna valley and in the Bellunesi Dolomites National Park, in the Italian North-Eastern Alps, during the winter of 2005. The SigmaPAH concentration in high-altitude alpine sites (above 1700 m) was 32+/-20 ng/kg while in valley bottom urban areas it was 165 ...

Mountain Anthroscapes, the Case of the Italian Alps
2010After an attempt of a definition proposal, some typical and frequently occurring anthroscapes in the Italian Alps are here examined. By referring to the original landscapes, such man-made landscapes are divided into positive/ameliorative and sustainable, on one hand, and worsening/negative and unsustainable on the other hand, depending on the type of ...
