Abstract
Total Hg content was determined in the vegetation, soil and atmosphere of two mediterranean volcanic islands, Vulcano and Stromboli. The metal contents of vegetation, lichens and soil were generally low. By contrast, atmospheric gaseous Hg measured at various stations was as high as levels found elsewhere in proximity to geochemical anomalies such as cinnabar deposits. Comparisons with Mt. Etna and Mt. Amiata were also made in the hope of reaching a better understanding of the role of volcanoes as a source of the metal in the mediterranean basin as a whole.
