The first part of this title deals with natural risk factors, of both natural and human origin, that should be borne in mind: subsidence, accidental infiltration, soil instability, rockslides and mudslides, debris flow and degradation of buildings and monuments due to pollution and climatic effects. The second part is devoted to pollution and polluted sites and their repercussions, a subject of growing significance given the increasing reclamation of land from abandoned industrial sites for urban development over the last 20 years.
