How to Survive Volcanic ASH CLOUD!

You may not know this but there approximately 1,500 potentially active volcanoes on this planet and that doesn't include those on the ocean floor. Over 800 million people live within 60 miles of an active volcano, considering that volcanic ash is capable of traveling thousands of miles, it's probably best for us ALL to learn a little about the danger it presents and the steps we can take to survive. The Dangers. Volcanic ash is tremendously disruptive, although we may think that falling rocks, lava, fire, and hot toxic gases are a volcano's main danger, the most common cause of death from a volcano is actually suffocation. Volcanic ash clouds can contain dangerous aerosols including Carbon dioxide, Sulfur dioxide, and Hydrochloric and Hydroflouric acid. These aerosols are capable of building up in the atmosphere and can affect the climate all over the world, the ash cloud can also block out the sun thus cooling down the earth. These aerosols can also fall back down in form of precipitation, the poisonous gases reacting with the water to create Acid rain. Even if the ash cloud returns to earth in a dry state, it is still acidic and causes harmful effects on soil, forests, streams and lakes, killing crops, poisoning livestock and polluting water sources. Its corrosive power also affects telecommunications and electric infrastructure, corroding insulators and causing power outages. A Volcanic ash cloud can also contain tiny particles of Quartz, Cristobalite, and Tridymite which when inhaled causes Silicosis that results in scarring in the lungs and lung impairment.
