Phivolcs observed voluminous steam-rich plumes that rose 3,000 meters above the volcano island generated by the upwelling of volcanic fluids in the main crater lake in the past 24 hours.
The volcanic tremor in Taal lasted 165 hours and 55 minutes from June 2 to June 9, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology . Taal’s degassing also caused significant volcanic smog or “vog” over the volcano’s surrounding areas. In an advisory issued on June 7, Phivolcs recommended limiting exposure to these risks for those who might be especially sensitive to vog, especially the elderly, pregnant women, children, and those with health conditions like asthma, lung disease, and heart disease.
Furthermore, Phivolcs warned of the possibility of acid rain brought on by periods of rainfall and volcanic gas emission over areas where the plume disperses, which could damage crops and corrode metal roofs.Phivolcs said the active volcano is still on alert level 1, which means it is experiencing “low-level unrest.”
