CoV6 Session: 2.6 Human health problems caused by volcanic activity
From: "Claire Horwell" <claire.horwell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Dear All,
We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to the session on 'Human
health problems caused by volcanic activity' which will be held at the
Cities on Volcanoes 6 conference at the end of May.
health problems caused by volcanic activity' which will be held at the
Cities on Volcanoes 6 conference at the end of May.
The synopsis of the session is below:
Volcanic health hazards continue to be an issue of immediate concern to
local populations both during eruptions and for many years following
eruptions. These are primarily from volcanic ash in the environment and
its subsequent effects on respiratory health but may also be from the
psychological effects of long-term evacuation and living with a
'rumbling giant'. Quiescent volcanoes also pose health concerns from
volcanic degassing which can affect air quality and the potability of
local water resources. This session is open to all research on the
health issues caused by volcanic activity and we encourage talks and
posters not only on the medical investigations but also on
characterization of the properties of volcanic emissions which may be
linked to adverse health outcomes.
