IMO and this is not the opinion of Fuerteventura Click the Cabildo and Pevolca need prosecuting for allowing the tourist buses.

Its been two days now  raining toxic ash down in this area and IMO there is no way this is safe for people to be now stood under it.

''Carbon dioxide and fluorine, gases that can be toxic to humans, can collect in volcanic ash. ... If inhaled, volcanic ash can cause breathing problems and damage the lungs. Inhaling large amounts of ash and volcanic gases can cause a person to suffocate. Suffocation is the most common cause of death from a volcano.''

''On or near the ground, volcanic ash can reduce visibility, make surfaces slippery, cause roofs to collapse, damage crops and wild plants, clog ventilation systems, corrode metal, contaminate water supplies, irritate or damage eyes, and pose a health risk to people with respiratory problems.''

''Is it safe to breathe volcanic ash?

Inhalation of volcanic ash can be very detrimental to human health, due to the harmful aerosols and poisonous gases the ash is made up of. Health effects inlcude respiratory problems, eye problems, and skin irritiation. One long-term effect of volcanic ash is silicosis.15 Feb 2021''

Latest update courtesy of Enrique.

31/10/2021 12:30h Canary Islands. - ERUPTION OF PALM ISLAND. - MORE ASSH AND FINE, MORE STRAYS, MORE TREMURING AND SONIC STAMPIDES OR EXPANSIVE WAVES. - The night has to be aupa in the valley, with the doors windows and crystals vibrating and striking non-stop by the sonic stampede, occasionally some explosion or even a thunder of lightning that occur in the eruptive column that goes up to 4500 metres done today. The volcano is throwing out the rest as far as Piroclastos is concerned, and the ash grinder is at more power, removing very thin ash that are not good for health.

Sonic stamps give a little scary, as they are not heard, but they make sound many objects, even noticed in the body as when we go to a concert, it is not nice no, in Sicily they are usually quite common in the eruptions of ETNA and l they know you well. Today some visuals have been filmed because when the expansion wave occurs, after it there is a sudden drop of pressure that causes the water vapor to be condemned if the humidity is very high and it looks like a cloud moving through the sky.

SONIC STAMPIDES OR EXPANSIVE WAVES

As far as the 13A is concerned, it follows its way into the ocean, both in the delta area and a little higher. In fact, you can appreciate the front of the laundry in the northeastern area of the Norias, which will hopefully pass rosy and as the rest of the laundry goes up the cliff and falls down the same, spreading the material in the area of the Fajana or lower island.

LAVA NECKLACE THIS MORNING

The volcano continues with a great activity and although yesterday seemed calmer, it was just a mirage, produced by the silence that provokes the large amount of ashes in the air and the little visibility that there was, because the tremor has continued to rise, the training is held more or less, rising slightly and since 3 in the morning a chirping is felt, a noise at about 9Hz frequency which is a "volcanic gliding that announces us more activity.
But many will wonder why he throws more ashes? or what happened to the volcano?.. the truth is that the question is not easy, but we are already getting to know him, at first there has been a change in the chemical composition of the magma that has made it more viscous and explosive, this is usually related to the content in water o/y silicice of the Mother.

In the first case, low pressure these days, some water has been able to enter the deep magmatic duct system which has caused it to produce more ashes. But until we have a mineral and chemical analysis of the ashes, they are hypothesis. The second is the arrival of a new magma pulse with a different composition richer in silicon and that would give the same results to priori, although seeing that the coladas continue to come out by the base of the cone, I loved the first option.

I really recommend that you wear FPP2 masks or wet rags if there are a lot of ashes, otherwise they will seriously harm your health with the entry of small particles in the lungs that derive from a silicosis or pneumonia of the Miners, which are basically wounds or edema in the lung caused by these ashes, which make you breathe worse every time and end up with a breather for the rest of your life.

Still editing the post (Enrique)

PS: It's the second time I've written this post, I've uploaded it, I was putting a reply and there was a comment and it's completely disappeared.... and look how good I was...
