‘That is the very best emission from the volcano recorded since instrumental gasoline monitoring started,’ says Phivolcs
MANILA, Philippines – The sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission from Negros Island’s Kanlaon Volcano surged to a document excessive of 5,397 tons per day on Friday, June 28.
“That is the very best emission from the volcano recorded since instrumental gasoline monitoring started,” mentioned the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) in an advisory on Friday night.

Alert Degree 2 means “there’s present unrest pushed by shallow magmatic processes” which will result in additional explosive eruptions, “and even precede [a] hazardous magmatic eruption,” Phivolcs warned.
The company famous that Kanlaon’s SO2 emission has averaged 1,897 tons per day in 2024, however emission because the June 3 eruption “has been notably elevated at a present common of three,175 tons per day.” These ranges are a lot larger than the everyday emission of lower than 300 tons per day when the volcano shouldn’t be in a state of unrest.
State volcanologists have additionally recorded a mean of 10 volcanic earthquakes per day because the eruption, whereas Kanlaon’s edifice has been inflated or swollen since March 2022, “indicating gradual however sustained pressurization throughout the volcano.”
Phivolcs reminded the general public to not enter the 4-kilometer-radius everlasting hazard zone (PDZ) surrounding Kanlaon “to reduce dangers from volcanic hazards comparable to pyroclastic density currents, ballistic projectiles, rockfall, and others.” Ashfall and lahar flows stay potential as effectively.
The company earlier mentioned barangays with areas inside Kanlaon’s PDZ are:
- Ara-al and Yubo in La Carlota Metropolis, Negros Occidental
- Sag-ang, Mansalanao, Cabagnaan, and Biaknabato in La Castellana, Negros Occidental
