This project, sponsored by the Comune di Venezia, analyzes the problem of pollution associated with the artistic glass industry on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. We obtained information to create a computer-based pollution monitoring system, which allows users to visualize and track the pollution on Murano. This system will be used by the Comune di Venezia to help glass manufacturers come into compliance with Italian environmental regulations on air, noise, and liquid pollutants by December 31, 2002.
