The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said Kanlaon generated 337 volcanic earthquakes and released 9,985 tons of sulfur dioxide on Tuesday, September 10.Kanlaon has been degassing increased concentrations of sulfur dioxide this year at an average rate of 1,273 tons per day, prior to the June 3 eruption, but emission since then has been particularly elevated at a current average of 3,468 tons per day, according to Phivolcs.
