Monitoring air pollutants in urbanized hydrothermal areas: challenges and benefits of traditional measurement strategies.

ABSTRACT: Carbon- and sulfur-bearing gases are emitted at relevant amounts from hydrothermal manifestations at Tivoli Terme (Latium, central Italy), where different potential anthropogenic contaminant sources also occur. This study presents a geochemical dataset including CO₂, CH₄, SO_2, and H₂S concentrations and δ¹³C-CO₂ and δ¹³C-CH₄ values measured in air at the center of Tivoli town. The main aim was to evaluate the impact on air quality of hydrothermal manifestations and anthropogenic activities employing a traditional stationary monitoring strategy. The analytical results reveal significant air contamination from both natural and anthropogenic emissions, although gas levels were below outdoor air quality thr
