The sulfur dioxide cloud caused by the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma Island will reach Cieza and El Valle de Ricote. It poses no risk to people because it is high and diluted.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano is releasing more than 10,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions into the atmosphere every day, according to estimates by the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan).
Winds in the coming days are expected to carry these sulfur dioxide emissions as far as the Iberian Peninsula and the Region of Murcia. SO2 is an irritating and toxic gas and is considered a precursor.
It can be seen how the emissions released into the atmosphere by the volcanic eruption will move towards the interior of Africa in the coming days, moving through northern Morocco to the Mediterranean and eventually reaching the Iberian Peninsula on Friday, through the Levante area, which would affect the Region of Murcia.
These SO2 particles will reach the Region of Murcia "due to the circulation of winds at altitude, which the DANA leaves us with.
But they will do so in a very diluted way and we will not notice anything special.
Only in the vicinity of the volcano is this cloud of sulfur and ash harmful.
At such a distance and not being a major volcanic eruption compared to others worldwide, "it won't pose any major problems in the Region of Murcia.
