Abstract

The conclusions we can draw from this study must be strictly limited to the acute response of children to moderate levels of airborne volcanic ash. Thus, we found no within-day effect, and no overall cumulative effect. There was a significant, but very small decrease in FVC and FEV₁ over the first 24 hours, but we believe this is attributable to a diurnal effect rather than to ash.
