    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The main aim of this work, carried out in the framework of the PRISMA2 national researchprogram (Research and Experimentation Program for the Adriatic Sea) was the definition ofan appropriate working methodology which allowed to estimate the impact of the Esinodrainage-basin (central Italy), and of the anthropic activities lying on it, on the coastalwater quality of the Adriatic sea. This aim was pursued by integrating techniques andinstruments of analyses, such as GIS and remote sensing, which are often and oftenemployed in natural resources managing and planning. They allowed to generate adatabase easily updating, relative to a very large area which is strongly differentiated in itsnatural and anthropic features. The database contains raw data, provided by local publicorganizations managing the territory, information derived from elaboration of the previousdata and remote sensed frames (acquired by the hyperspectral sensor MIVIS) purposelyacquired to the aim of the study. It was after all generated an 'open' system, continuallyupdating with environmental information before long available; moreover, were exploredthe potentialities of the MIVIS sensor (102 band, from the visible to the thermic IR) in thestudy of marine coastal water quality.

    Multiple Sclerosis in the Mount Etna Region: Possible Role of Volcanogenic Trace Elements (2014)
    Public Library of Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Background: Trace elements have been hypothesised to be involved in the pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis and volcanic degassing is the major natural sources of trace elements. Both incidence of Multiple Sclerosis in Catania and volcanic activity of Mount Etna have been significantly increased during the last 30 years. Due to prevailing trade winds direction, volcanic gases from Etna summit craters are mostly blown towards the eastern and southern sectors of the volcano. Objective: To evaluate the possible association between Multiple Sclerosis and exposure to volcanogenic trace elements. Methods: We evaluated prevalence and incidence of Multiple Sclerosis in four communities (47,234 inhabitants) located in the eastern flank and in two communities (52,210 inhabitants) located in the western flank of Mount Etna, respectively the most and least exposed area to crater gas emissions. Results: A higher prevalence was found in the population of the eastern flank compared to the population of the western one (137.6/100,000 versus 94.3/100,000; p-value 0.04). We found a borderline significantly higher incidence risk during the incidence study period (1980–2009) in the population of the eastern flank 4.6/100,000 (95% CI 3.1–5.9), compared with the western population 3.2/100,000 (95% CI 2.4–4.2) with a RR of 1.41 (95% CI 0.97–2.05; p-value 0.06). Incidence risks have increased over the time in both populations reaching a peak of 6.4/100,000 in the eastern flank and of 4.4/100.000 in the western flank during 2000–2009. Conclusion: We found a higher prevalence and incidence of Multiple Sclerosis among populations living in the eastern flank of Mount Etna. According to our data a possible role of TE cannot be ruled out as possible co-factor in the MS pathogenesis. However larger epidemiological study are needed to confirm this hypothesis.
