Italian term or phrase: bianco
these guys are analysing the waters in the adriatic to see if local works have caused pollution. i get the impression that "bianco" is being used here as some type of "benchmark", but a) i'm not sure that this is a suitable term in these circumstances and b) i can't find anything matching "bianco" or "livello di bianco" in this context. any ideas? TIA

"La campagna di monitoraggio pertanto si è svolta in un periodo non disturbato e in questo senso può essere considerata un “bianco” con il quale confrontare le risultanze delle altre campagne".

"i livelli medi di torbidità nella campagna XXX, svoltasi nel corso delle opere, risultano essere all’interno del range di valori rilevati nella precedente campagna considerata come bianco".

"Questa campagna si è inserita tra XXX e YYY (dates). La campagna pertanto si è svolta in un periodo non disturbato e in questo senso può essere considerata un “bianco”".

"Da questi grafici si deduce che i livelli di Solidi Sospesi Totali riscontrati nel corso degli interventi non risultano significativamente diversi rispetto a quanto rilevato nella campagna XXX che può essere considerata un livello di bianco".

etc.
