The heavy metal chemistry of atmospheric rarticulate matter emitted by Mount Etna Volcano
Abstract
Measurements of the chemical composition of atmospheric particulate matter, collected by air filtration in the plumes from various active craters and vents at Mount Etna, Sicily, in June 1976, allowed to estimate a discharge of particulate elements to the atmosphere shown to be representative of Mount Etna long‐term activity. For some enriched trace elements in this volcanic aerosol (Cu, Zn, Se, Hg, Cd and Pb) the discharge from Mount Etna was compared to an estimate of the anthropogenic atmospheric release from the bordering countries of the Mediterranean basin. This comparison shows that, relative to the anthropogenic release of these elements, the discharge from Mount Etna is insignificant for Pb, comparable for Cd, Hg, Cu and Zn and is predominant for Se, in the Mediterranean atmospheric environment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
