Kilauea volcano, Hawaii, USA, erupted in January, 1983. During a two-week period including the eruption, atmospheric particulate matter (PM) around the volcano was collected on 0.4 pm air filters (Zoller, Parrington and Phelan Kotra, 1983). Measurements of the atmospheric particles yielded 0.0045-1.600 ng m-3 (nanograms of arsenic per cubic meter of air). Before the eruption, the average arsenic concentrations were 0.013-0.039 ng m-3 (Zoller, Parrington and Phelan Kotra, 1983).

Volcanic eruptions can cause some harmful health effects. Tourists were kept at some distance from the 2011 eruption of the Kilauea volcano (see Section 9.4.1) because of its emissions of sulfur dioxide gas. People may suffocate in the carbon dioxide or be poisoned by the toxic carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide. (If the geothermally active Yellowstone National Park in the United States was an industrial installation, it is likely that authorities would consider placing some areas off limits because of emissions of hydrogen sulfide, readily detected by visitors by its foul odor.) Fine particles blown into the atmosphere from volcanic eruptions can cause respiratory problems when inhaled. Plants may be killed or their growth stunted by exposure to sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from volcanoes.
