Gas manifestations display typical geothermal gas composition with CO2 as the main component and CH4 and H2S as minor species. Soil gas composition derives from the mixing of two end-members (atmospheric air and geothermal gas). Soil CO2 fluxes range from<2 to 33,400 g m 2 d 1. The estimated diffuse output of hydrothermal CO2, estimated for an area of 0.015 km2, is about 630 g s 1, while a tentative estimation of CH4 diffuse output gave a value of about 1.15 g s 1. Point sources accounted for lower flux values of 26 g s 1 of CO2, 0.1 g s 1 of CH4 and 0.02 g s 1 of H2S.248 35
