In this study the cytotoxicity of three respirable Montserrat volcanic ash (MVA) samples was investigated: M1 from a single explosive event, M2 accu...
متن کاملUnderstanding causality and uncertainty in volcanic observations: An example of forecasting eruptive activity on Soufrià ̈re Hills Volcano, Montserrat
Article history: Received 5 October 2016 Received in revised form 2 June 2017 Accepted 6 June 2017 Available online 8 June 2017 Following a cessation in eruptive activity it is important to understand how a volcano will behave in the future and when it may next erupt. Such an assessment can be based on the volcano's long-term pattern of behaviour and insights into its current state via monitori...

Concerns were raised that the particles might cause respiratory problems. AIMS To evaluate whether ashfalls had any...
