LAVA ADVANCES 1.5 KILOMETRES IN 24 HOURS DESTROYING MORE HOMES AND FARM LAND

The lava flows from the Cumbre Vieja volcano continue their unstoppable and destructive path towards the sea. During the last 24 hours, the lava flow located further south (labelled lava flow number 3) has advanced 1,500 metres, devastating land previously untouched by lava and devouring homes and banana plantations, according to Pevolca.

Pevolca's scientific spokesperson, María José Blanco, explained at the daily press conference where she gives an account of the evolution of the catastrophe: "The flow continues to move through unaffected land and has advanced 1,500 metres, reaching a low island in the Las Hoyas area.”

“Calculations of the data from the Copernicus surveillance satellite tell us that, in total, lava now covers 963 hectares of surface area and the width of the streams is close to 3 kilometres, and so far it has destroyed 2,532 buildings and another 149 are at risk.”

What worries the authorities now is that the flow is threatening the residential area of Las Norias after it broke free from flow 9 to take a new path causing new devastation.

"What was a narrow and small stream has grown spilling over stream 9, following the troughs," explained Blanco, who indicated that the new flow has not been able to ‘ride’ the previous higher stream, but runs parallel to it until the low island created by the San Juan volcano.

In fact, she indicated that it is already less than 400 metres from the sea, however, the collision of the lava and the ocean does not worry them because it would only affect the workers of the desalination plants in Puerto Naos who have already been alerted to the risk of the emission of toxic gases.

"Problems that led to being at the gas and ash exposition"
Lung problems and volcanic smog
Volcanic smog is also called volcanic fog. It forms when a volcano erupts and releases gases to the atmosphere.
This type of smog can irritate the lungs and aggravate existing problems in these organs.
Information
Volcanoes release columns of ash, dust, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and other harmful gases into the air. Sulfur dioxide is the most harmful of these gases. When gases react with oxygen, humidity and sunlight of the atmosphere forms the volcanic smog. This smog is a kind of air pollution.
Volcanic smog also contains sprays (particles and tiny drops) with high levels of acidity, mainly sulfuric acid and other sulfur-related compounds. These sprays are small enough to be inhaled deep into your lungs.
Inhaling volcanic smog irritates lungs and mucous membranes. This may affect the effectiveness of lung function. Volcanic smog can also affect the immune system.
Acid particles in volcanic smog can worsen the following lung conditions:
Asthma
Bronchitis
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (EPOC)
Enselfishness
Any other prolonged lung conditions (chronic)
Symptoms of exposure to volcanic smog include:
Breathing problems, lack of breath
Let's go
Symptoms of Seudogriple
Headaches
Power outage
Major production of moco
Sore throat
Teary and irritated eyes
MEASURES TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST VOLCANIC SMOG
If you already have trouble breathing, taking these measures can prevent your breathing from getting worse when exposed to volcanic smog:
Stay in covered spaces as much as you can. People with lung disease should limit physical activities outdoors. Keep the doors and windows closed and a/c working. Using an air purifier may also be helpful.
When you really have to go out, wear a surgical paper or chiffon mask that covers your nose and mouth. Moisturize the mask with a baking soda and water solution to even further protect your lungs.
Wear glasses to protect your eyes from the ashes
Take your pills for EPOC or asthma according to medical instructions.
No smoke. Cigarette can irritate your lungs even more.
Drink lots of liquids, especially hot liquids (like tea).
Lean forward slightly at the waist height to make it easier for you to breathe.
Practice breathing exercises in indoor spaces to keep your lungs as healthy as possible. With lips almost closed, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. This is called breathing with frown lips. Or breathe deeply through the nose into the belly without moving your chest. This is called diaphragmatic breathing.
If possible, do not travel or leave the area where there is volcanic smog.
EMERGENCY Symptoms
If you have asthma or EPOC and your symptoms suddenly get worse, try using the rescue inhaler. If the symptoms don't improve:
Call 112 or local emergency number immediately.
Ask someone to take him to the ER.
Call your health care provider if:
Is it expecting more moth than usual or the moth has changed color
He is expecting blood
She has a high fever (over 100° F or 37.8° C)
Presenting symptoms of seudogripal
Has severe pain or chest pressure
Struggling to breathe or chills that are getting worse
Has swelling in her legs or abs.

Now they will see the full pocket, in a few days they will see full yes but hospitals, by people with breathing problems, even people can die not healthy.
. . and they'll kick it to a COVID reparation.. (MIK3) IS WHAT I CALL ,NOT HAVING A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY.
Postdata: It's not about being the best, it's about raising awareness of education and prevention, that's not an alarm is to form for what can happen, and I'm not just talking about this volcano, I also do the "Nevado del Ruiz" that for days has been giving sir wing of life that meets years, complete pattern is what there is who wants to criticize me I see normal for the fear of ignorance But neither I nor Enrique mark the compass of the volcano nor enjoy with esto...decir that great catastrophe is the most watched volcano in the world until that and the Nevada del Ruiz was not a catastrophe were not aware, it is about moral fiber, I belong together with anna fornier to the WORLDCANIC summit, international volcanology summit, which this year will be held together with Madrid fusion, where there will be talks of awareness and I will see alg some people and all this will be portrayed and recorded I'll go with my thought "PREVENIR IT'S TO LIVE". .. it is what it is.
