The Agreement includes preliminary activities, monitoring start-up activities and evaluation and dissemination activities.

The preliminary activities, now completed, included the identification of the procedures to be followed and the sites suitable for monitoring and the signing of agreements with the Regions and ARPAs involved in the project.
Monitoring activities, currently in progress, follow; the CNR is responsible for supporting the Regions and the ARPAs in monitoring some pollutants while directly carrying out the analyzes of other pollutants in its own laboratories. ENEA carries out modeling studies on some data coming from the networks.
The first analyzes of the data collected so far are currently starting and activities for the dissemination of the results will be organized in the final stages of the Agreement.

The Agreement provides for the active collaboration of the CNR IIA in carrying out all the activities identified by the Ministry to create and start up the special networks. Two operational agreements were signed, one between the CNR and the ARPA Veneto (identified as the analysis laboratory of the special networks) and one between the CNR and the Regions and ARPA that manage the monitoring sites included in the network. In addition, the CNR IIA is responsible for directly carrying out some analyzes on mercury and on the depositions of PAHs and metals and plays an active role in the monitoring of ozone precursors.

The monitoring data are collected in a portal prepared for the purpose by the CNR IIA.

Following all these activities, some evaluations on the results will be made and dissemination activities will be organized.
