A new laser spectrofluorometric apparatus has been recently developed and assembled in the mobile laboratory ENVILAB of at ENEA Research Center of Frascati. The instrumentation was utilized from October 20 to 25,2003 in the measurement campaign carried on in Sicily within the activities of the "RIADE project" (Integrated Research for the Application of Innovative Technologies and Processes for the Struggle Against Desertification) in order to monitor waters in areas at risk of desertification. During the campaign, the concentrations of dissolved (proteins and humic acids) and suspended (algae) organic substances have been measured in natural waters of Sicilian sites (near Syracuse and Licata).
