The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Sunday afternoon, June 4, said they have observed an increased degassing activity from Taal Volcano. ManilaBulletin READ:
Phivolcs on Sunday said a total of 5,831 tonnes of sulfur dioxide was recorded from Taal’s main crater on June 1 — a figure higher than last month’s average of 3,553 per day.
“Vog consists of fine droplets containing volcanic gas which is acidic and can cause irritation of the eyes, throat and respiratory tract with severities depending on the gas concentrations and durations of exposure,” said Phivolcs in an advisory issued Sunday. “Avoid outdoor activities, stay indoors, and shut doors and windows to block out vog. Cover your nose, drink plenty of water to reduce throat irritation. Watch over yourself and seek help from a doctor, especially if serious effects are experienced,” it furthered.
