Sino Italian Environmental Regional Risk Assessment (SIERRA) Project
SIERRA Project was funded by the Italian Ministry for Environmental Protection and developed in collaboration with the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES; Beijing, China); started in 2009 and lasting 3 years.
The project fits with the proposing definition of a contaminated land management approach in China, providing support for the definition of a framework for the management of these critical issue in the country, taking into account risk assessment methodologies, regional-based approaches and technological progresses, as well as international distinguished experiences. Accordingly, in the light of developing regulatory and management approaches to the problem, the reference to international experiences, specifically in Europe, provides an important resource of information and tools.
