Abstract
Mercury in the vegetation, soil and atmosphere of Mt.Etna's volcanic area was studied. Mercury contents of pine and spruce needles, brooms, lichens and soil were generally low. Atmospheric gaseous mercury measured at various stations was also low. The role of Mt. Etna as a source of the metal in the Mediterranean basin is also considered.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
