State volcanologists on Thursday monitored an increase in degassing activity from Taal Volcano in Batangas.
In an advisory, the volcano’s main crater emitted 11,072 tonnes of volcanic sulfur dioxide. But this is still lower than the sulfur dioxide emission of 18,638 tonnes recorded last March 28. PHIVOLCS said Taal Volcano has continuously degassing “voluminous concentrations” of sulfur dioxide since 2021 and has emitted an average of 8,294 tonnes a day this year.
“Prolonged exposure to volcanic SO2 can cause irritation of the eyes, throat and respiratory tract. People who may be particularly sensitive are those with health conditions such as asthma, lung disease and heart disease, the elderly, pregnant women and children,” said PHIVOLCS. State volcanologists advised residents near the volcano to stay indoors and shut windows to prevent inhalation of volcanic gas.
