The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) on Tuesday said Taal Volcano emitted more sulfur dioxide or SO2 on Monday, but added that Alert Level 2 remains.
"Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission averaged 14,326 tonnes/day on 28 June 2021," PHIVOLCS said.
This was much higher than the SO2 emission on June 27 which averaged 4,771 tonnes/day.
This is due to the continued emission of volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the main crater, it said.
On Tuesday, there was still vog on Taal Volcano Island, according to PHIVOLCS-Taal Volcano Observatory resident volcanologist Paolo Reniva.
"Sa ngayon, may nao-observe pa rin tayong vog pero limited sa Volcano Island," he said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.
