The effectiveness of respiratory protection worn by communities to protect from volcanic ash inhalation. Part I: Filtration efficiency tests - ScienceDirect
The above is a detailed scientific study on which types of masks should be used. Regular surgical masks, scooter/biker masks, and other cloth masks fared poorly against particulate matter coming from volcanic ash.
"Overall, four RP materials performed very well against volcanic ash, with median FEs in excess of 98% (N95-equiv., N99-equiv., PM2.5 surgical (Japan), and Basic flat-fold (Indonesia))."
"This evidence base indicates that materials used in industry-certified masks, and others, specifically designed to filter PM2.5 particles, will provide better filtration efficiencies than fashion/scooter masks or ad hoc cloth materials (e.g., bandanas, scarves) used for protection when ash is in the air. Pleated, standard, surgical masks also had good filtration efficiencies, but other types of masks (non-pleated, single layer) for use in healthcare settings performed very poorly against volcanic ash.

Unlike the 80s kids na umiinom ng tubig from garden hose after game of basketball na naka paa or tsinelas lang, malakas resistensiya. Ngayon mula pagkabata purified water na. Naka kulong lang sa bahay puro cellphone. Pag mag na basketball eh aarkila pa ng indoor court, balot ang paa ng rubber shoes, at purified water ang iniinom, never naka tikim ng tap water.
I remember the tsinelas hack, pag na patid, lalagyan ng pardible para magamit pa rin. One wrong step at matutusok ka sa paa. [emoji23]

Some ashfall still falling in true QC.
Hoping Pinatubo-like scenario won’t happen: Lorenzana | Philippine News Agency
Sent from my Mi 9T Pro using TapatalkWorst case scenario is the volcano will blow up like Pinatubo. Remember Pinatubo, the entire mountain collapsed during the eruption. That's what we are fearing, that the eruption would cause the entire island to rise and scatter debris on the nearby areas. Hopefully this will not happen. We can never predict the actions of this volcano,
