00:00 FIVOC continues to warn the residents living near the Taal Volcano.
00:05 Last day, more than 4,000 tons of sulfur dioxide hit the volcano,
00:13 which is being eroded by smog.
00:14 This is Joshua Garcia's report.
00:16 The high level of volcanic smog or steam in the mouth of the Taal Volcano is being observed continuously.
00:23 Despite its existence, it is still at alert level 1.
00:26 Because of this, the nearby areas are affected by volcanic smog or fog,
00:30 such as Agoncillo, San Nicolas, and some towns in the eastern part of the Taal Volcano.
00:35 But FIVOC explains that it depends on the climate, humidity, or moisture of the air in the area of the volcano.
00:42 Yesterday, it was not too severe because the isoto emission is not that high.
00:49 Most probably, what we saw yesterday was part of Agoncillo, San Nicolas because the wind drifted to the southwest.
00:57 According to FIVOC's latest data, this Monday, 4,332 tons of sulfur dioxide was eroded by the Taal Volcano every day,
01:05 while they recorded 6 volcanic tremors in the past 24 hours.
01:10 FIVOC's first explanation is that the fog is small droplets of air formed by volcanic gas,
01:16 such as sulfur dioxide, which can cause irritation to the eyes, throat, and respiratory tract.
01:22 The residents are also worried because they are often under the threat of being attacked
01:27 if there is activity or danger that can cause the volcano to erupt.
01:30 We are not afraid. If there is a signal from the locals in our village, we will leave.
01:39 FIVOC's latest data is a continuation of the FIVOC's report,
01:41 particularly in areas near the Taal Volcano, where volcanic smog or fog can be detected,
01:46 which can only be seen inside the house.
01:48 If it is not possible to go out, wear N95 masks.
01:52 For now, FIVOC's can't see any significant events that they can consider to raise their alert level
01:58 because their monitoring parameters are still at the baseline of alert level 1.
