Volcanic Gases and Aerosols
The following pages contain information relating to the health
hazards of gases and aerosols typically emitted during volcanic
activity. Each section outlines the properties of the emission;
its impacts on health; international guidelines for concentrations;
and examples of concentrations and effects in volcanic contexts,
including casualties.
The entire Gas Guidelines database can be downloaded here
as a PDF.
Before looking at the emissions data, we recommend that you read the general
introduction to volcanic gases and aerosols first. A glossary to some of
the terms used in the explanations and guidelines is also provided.
