Our previous biomonitoring studies (Culotta et al. 2002, 2005, 2007; Gianguzza et al. 2006a, Gianguzza and Orecchio 2006b; Orecchio and Amorello 2010) indicate that the air of Palermo is seriously polluted, resulting mainly from vehicle exhaust.

In addition, polluted air results in resource depletion: soil acidification from acid rain reduces the amount of China's arable land and crop productivity; mercury emitted by coal combustion enters the water systems, contaminating water and affecting fish, rice, vegetables and fruits; and airborne pollutants kill off trees and forests.
This is not just an opportunity to get in on another source for oil, but also an opportunity to clean up the land after disasters or the resulting polluted tailings ponds resulting from other less efficient extraction processes.
