More than 40 students have been brought to various hospitals in Tuy, Batangas due to the effects of the volcanic smog caused by the activity of Taal Volcano.
Dr. Amor Calayan, head of the Batangas Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, said the smog has been affecting towns in the province for two weeks.
She said none of the students needed to be confined at the hospital and were all sent home after treatment. Phivolcs said continuous upswelling persisted at the main crater lake, "generating steam plumes that rose to 2,400 meters before drifting to the west-southwest."
