Abstract

Environmental factors implicated as affecting world-wide distribution of multiple sclerosis are reviewed. It is suggested that climate may be involved in the etiology of this disease. Diffused solar radiation effects on multiple sclerosis hospital admission rates are demonstrated.

[Do volcanic eruptions and wide-spread fires affect our climate?].

During the first half of 1991, the press, radio and TV have often reported about large fires (Kuwait, forest fires in Portugal) or volcanic eruptions (Mount Unzen, Pinatubo). Starting with the facts, the author investigates first the kind of particles constituting such smoke clouds and in particular their size. He places the main cloud in the atmosphere and asks; the cloud remains near the soil, whether it reaches the upper layers of the troposphere or it breaks out into the stratosphere? The transport of the cloud depends on particle-size and of the winds blowing in the reached layer. All these clouds have an impact on the weather. The author analyses finally the credible influence of such clouds on weather elements: radiation and temperature as well as the extent of these effects. He corroborates his analysis by visual observations or measurements.
