PHIVOLCS reminded the public that prolonged exposure to volcanic gas can cause irritation of the eyes, throat and respiratory tract, and pose higher risks to vulnerable individuals.Taal Volcano remains on Alert Level 1 or low-level unrest. This translates to the possibility of sudden steam-driven or phreatic explosions, volcanic earthquakes, minor ashfall and lethal accumulations or expulsions of volcanic gas within Taal Volcano Island .
