The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology on Monday, Dec. 16 warned of elevated sulfur dioxide emissions from Taal Volcano, as they pose potential health risks to nearby communities. Although no volcanic smog or volcanic fog has been detected due to moderate winds dispersing the gases, Phivolcs still advised caution, particularly for those in nearby communities.
The agency also recommended wearing an N95 mask to cover the nose and mouth and drinking plenty of water to reduce throat irritation. At this level, Phivolcs pointed out that sudden steam-driven or phreatic eruptions could occur, potentially affecting areas within the Taal Volcano Island and the surrounding caldera.
