5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 From: "Maria FB. Viveiros" <Maria.FB.Viveiros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear all, We would like to draw your attention to an EGU session related with the volcanic gases and the permanent risk they may constitute in volcanic areas. In order to promote fruitful discussions on the topic, we warmly invite you to submit an abstract to our session at the 2023 EGU General Assembly (Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2023). NH2 *Permanent gas emissions in volcanic areas â?? a silent hazard* Co-organized by GMPV9 Convener: Fátima Viveiros | Co-conveners: Nemesio M. Pérez, Claire Horwell, Diana Linhares Abstract submission <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/abstractsubmission/45052__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!a-7QELKlkteNplg2_M7WJ2FlQNQaDxWytP-JVrqsoqRG7e9evBXFN-oKPeYwfKtXRafX2Vv6wvTdkTYwBwapjKQwXYl1BDPa$> Volcanic gas emissions can constitute a permanent hazard in volcanic areas not only during eruptions, but also in post-eruptive and quiescent periods. Carbon dioxide is one of the main hazardous volcanic gases due to its characteristics (odourless, invisible, density higher than air at STP) and asphyxiate effect. However, we highlight also the presence of other gases, such as hydrogen sulphide and radon. In fact, several incidents with gases have been reported both indoor and outdoor in various countries during non-eruptive periods: USA, Argentina, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Congo, and Indonesia, just to give some examples. High CO2 concentrations have been recently detected in some villages in La Palma (Canary Islands) and Vulcano (Italy) posing a threat to population and restricting the access to dwellings. We aim at contributions that show strategies to monitor, prevent and manage these silent hazards, which are quite challenging. Development of new sensors and study cases are welcome.
