“…The group exposed to the volcanically active environment consisted of 120 inhabitants (90 women and 30 men) from Furnas village (Table 1). This village is located inside the Furnas volcano caldera, where present-day volcanic activity is marked by several hydrothermal manifestations consisting of active fumarolic fields and hydrothermal vents (Booth et al, 1978;Cruz, 2003) and soil diffuse degassing areas with the always present "rotten egg" odor (Viveiros et al, 2008(Viveiros et al, , 2009 , alcohol consumption, frequent use of mouthwash, performance of X-rays in the previous week, and general health status. Only individuals that resided for more than five years in each locality were considered for this study.…”

“…Despite all the hazards associated with the activity of volcanoes, the richness of the soils in nutrients increasingly attracts people to live on or in the vicinity of active volcanoes, as it happens, in the Azores and Hawaii archipelagos, oceanic islands of hotspot volcanism (Amaral and Rodrigues, 2011;Hansell et al, 2006). Present-day volcanic activity in the Azores archipelago is marked by several hydrothermal manifestations consisting of active fumarolic fields, thermal and cold CO 2 springs and soil diffuse degassing areas (Baxter et al, 1999;Viveiros et al, 2008Viveiros et al, , 2009). According to these authors one of the major soil diffuse degassing areas of the archipelago extends below Furnas village.…”
