I heard the stats for Kilauea once. I wish I could remember, but is
an incredible amount. When Mt. Penetubo blew, I heard that stats on
that one. I think it was something like in one day, that volcano
emitted more sulphur, ash, lead, etc. (you pick the pollutant) than
the total emissions of every vehicle ever made.
Volcan Tungurahua in Ecuador is erupting again. We stayed
in Banos (actually up on the slope of the volcano, at Luna
Runtun, at the base of the volcano, at Christmas 2 years
ago. It was venting a bit when we were there. Banos and
other towns in the vicinity are being evacuated. It is a
beautiful area, with lots of excitement! The people there
seem to roll with it, even though it periodically wipes out
their farms and towns.
(The) "eruption of Tungurahua volcano created large clouds
of gas and ash above the summit and it's directed towards
the southeast and the west, near city of Banos. Ash cloud up
to 4 kilometers in the sky and pyroclastic flows
approximately one kilometer down the volcano flank could be
seen on Tuesday."
