THE Taal Volcano is emitting increased sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas emissions resulting in significant volcanic smog or vog, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said on Saturday.

Still at Alert Level 1, meaning there is low-level unrest, the volcano has recorded a total of 13,572 tons/day of SO2 gas emission from its main crater based on Phivolcs' 8 a.m. advisory.

The Taal Volcano in Batangas erupts on March 26, 2022. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised Alert Level 3 and recommended the immediate evacuation of residents in the areas within the Taal Volcano Island. THE MANILA TIMES FILE PHOTO
