LUCENA CITY – Taal Volcano’s sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions slightly increased even as its seismic activity remained generally quiet, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported on Friday.
In its latest 24-hour monitoring report, Phivolcs said Taal emitted 448 tons of sulfur dioxide on Thursday, more than the average daily emission rate of 188 metric tons recorded from June 11 to 18.
The volcano also generated plumes that rose as high as 750 meters and drifted northwest. Phivolcs classified the activity as a “weak emission” event.
