Notes:
Summary Volcanic gas emissions are strictly related to a specific stage of volcanic activity. Complete knowledge of their chemical composition can be extremely useful for efficient geochemical surveillance of active volcanism sites. A new, effective and simple method for the evaluation of light hydrocarbons in volcanic gases is described. A rapid sampling procedure and GC-FID analysis are employed. Data from different volcanic areas are shown and a their possible correlation is also discussed.
