Résumé :	Throughout the world, in both industrialized and less developed nations, people have grown increasingly eager to consume the benefits of high technology and the benefits from chemical industries. At the same time, the public in industrialized nations has developed a growing perception that technology is the means by which mankind is creating new environmental threats to global security. However, new technologies and innovations have great promise to affect and monitor cleaning of the environment, and to assure that industrialization does not imply a deterioration of the quality of the environment. As a first step in an international research effort in identifying and developing advanced technologies for improving the environment, the Ettore Majorana centre for scientific culture (EMCSC) established the International school of innovative technology for cleaning the environment in 1989. The aim of the school is to disseminate information concerning available approaches to assess the risks of environmental contamination, and identify innovative physical, chemical, and biological technologies to remediate and restore the environment. The course director is Richard C. Ragaini, Associate department head for research and development in the environmental protection department, LLNL. Technological approaches to managing the use of the environment and to assuring environmental cleanup in cases of contamination are beginning to receive considerable attention in industrialized nations. These programs naturally tend to emphasize the socio-political perspective of a highly developed national economy. Clearly, the perspectives of the more numerous, more highly populated but less developed portion of the world, must also be brought into such programs. Ideally, a substantial multinational research and training effort, with a large degree of participation from less developed nations, can eventually be established. These proceedings contain most of the papers presented during the course "innovative technologies for environmental Cleanup: Air, water, and soil," held at Erice, April 22-29, 1992. The purpose of the course was to discuss ongoing research and development, and explore the possibilities for future joint international collaboration among developed and less developed countries, in the following areas: A-Soils/ground water contamination B-Surface Water Pollution C-Atmospheric Pollution D-Pollution Prévention/Stratégies for Clean up.

Résumé :

Throughout the world, in both industrialized and less developed nations, people have grown increasingly eager to consume the benefits of high technology and the benefits from chemical industries. At the same time, the public in industrialized nations has developed a growing perception that technology is the means by which mankind is creating new environmental threats to global security. However, new technologies and innovations have great promise to affect and monitor cleaning of the environment, and to assure that industrialization does not imply a deterioration of the quality of the environment. As a first step in an international research effort in identifying and developing advanced technologies for improving the environment, the Ettore Majorana centre for scientific culture (EMCSC) established the International school of innovative technology for cleaning the environment in 1989. The aim of the school is to disseminate information concerning available approaches to assess the risks of environmental contamination, and identify innovative physical, chemical, and biological technologies to remediate and restore the environment.
