A significant danger from volcanoes is the volcanic ash
that can be ejected high into the atmosphere and cause severe local or
regional damage, or even world wide longer term disruption.
Luckily, the majority of current and recent volcanic activity has not
resulted in severe damage beyond local vicinities. But there are lots
of sleeping giants out there that could potentially change the lives of
populations well beyond the local. There is also a special category of
volcanoes reserved specifically for those that would cause extreme
damage, the super volcano.
Given the recent eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull and the
anticipated eruption of neighboring Katla, without regard for the
category of the volcano let’s look at something that is common to all,
but in varying degrees of impact… Volcanic Ash.
Volcanic Ash Composition
Volcanic Ash is made of tiny jagged hard pieces or particles of
volcanic glass, rock, and minerals, and is very abrasive and somewhat
corrosive.
What do volcanoes release into the atmosphere?
- Water Vapor (H2O) - no problem
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - same as what we exhale when we breathe, OK so far…
- Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) - Ok, smells like eggs, but can form into acid rain – not so good
- Hydrochloric Acid (HCI) - highly corrosive
- Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) - extremely corrosive
- Ash (jagged particles of volcanic glass, rock, and minerals) - see below…
Volcanic Ash Dangers
Infrastructure
Airliners
- Ash will sandblast the pilot’s window, fuselage, and clog sensors within seconds
- Ash will melt onto the turbines and parts of the combustion chamber of a jet engine causing stall or complete failure
- Regional airline hub closures if ash is identifiably dense enough to present a threat to air travel safety
- Lengthy airport closures affect regional and global economy
Food Supply
- Fluorine poisoning can lead to livestock death from eating grasses that are coated with fluorine affected ash
- Complete crop failure is likely in nearby zones that cover with ash
-
Partial crop failure in regions, depending on
severity of ash cover or quantity of ash entering into the stratosphere
(10 – 50 km, 6 – 31 miles) which could reduce temperatures world wide
for a period of months or even years depending on severity of eruption
Humans
-
Respiratory effects upon inhaling abrasive ash
particles below 10 microns, which is the smallest size that the nose and
upper respiratory system can filter out before entering deep into the
lungs
- Volcanic ash mixed with moisture in the lungs will turn to liquid cement, and if bad enough, will suffocate
- Inhalation of free silica could potentially lead to Silicosis— a fibrous (scarring) reaction of the lungs
- Eye damage if wearing contact lenses from ash abrasion on the surface of the eye if within ash zone (wear glasses instead!)
-
Water supply pollution and crop damage from acid rain (rain washes out the acid from the volcanic ash particles in the atmosphere)
- Threat of regional starvation, again entirely depending on severity and ability of others to respond
Economy
- Local economy would likely be ruined
- Regional economy can be negatively affected quickly, if ash plume impacts the area
-
Global economy will be affected if the regional
impact is located within a strategic location, example being the global
impact from a major Icelandic volcano affecting European geographies
-
Global economy will be adversely affected if volcanic ash is
exploded up high enough into the stratosphere to cause world wide
climate change, cooling temperatures, and agriculture failures (higher
food prices for starters…)
How does one prepare for a threat resulting from a significantly
large eruption? Assuming it’s not a super volcano (which would require
orders of magnitude greater level of readiness – but fortunately is very
rare), the answer will depend on your exposure risk based on your
geographical location. Only you know where you live, and can choose your
best plan of insurance.
Check your financial exposure to possible related equities, always
keep at least a minimum comfort level of food storage (a personal
choice), and come to grips with the fact that we as humans are tiny in
comparison with the power of earth’s forces.

Isaiah 56:
[7] Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them
joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall
be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house
of prayer for all people.
Philippians 2:
[1] If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of
love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, [2] Fulfill
ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of
one mind. [3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. [4] Look
not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. [5]
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But
made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he
humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9]
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above
every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11]
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father.

Lightning
Fire: Then the LORD caused it to rain upon Sodom
and upon Gomorrah an inflammable sulfurous brimstone and a burning, hot
flaming fire from the LORD Jehovah out of the sky of heaven; And he looked
toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld,
and, lo, a cloud of ashes, smoke and vapor of the land went up as the fume
and smoke of a smelting furnace.---
Thou shall be visited
by the Lord Jehovah of Hosts with a peal of thunder, with earthquake and
vibration, with fierceness, shaking and vapor; and great noise, with whirlwind, storm and tempest and the flash of bright, flaming, devouring, burning
fire.---
and I will rain upon him and upon his army and
crowd of troops, upon many people as a collective unit, that are with him, an
over flowing gush, and conquering overflowing rain, and a great weight of a
peal of hail stones, of a hot, burning, fiery, flaming fire and an inflammable,
sulfur resin of brimstone.---
And I will show a token, a
sign and wonders in the air of the heavens, in the visible arch of the sky,
where the clouds move; and in the field, in the ground, in the wilderness and
throughout all the land of the earth; it will have the appearance of blood
along with a burning, hot, flaming fire; and columns and pillars of clouds, of
angry dust, smoke and vapor.---
For,
behold, the day shall come, it will burn as a furnace, a fire pot and an
oven; and all the arrogant and proud, yes all that do wickedly, will be as
stubble: and the day that comes, shall burn and set them ablaze with a flaming fire,
saith the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root or
branch.---
and there will be great signs of terror and
fearful sights from heaven.---
But, moreover, the same day that
the patriarch Lot went out of Sodom, it rained a lightning fiery fire and a
sulfurous hellish brimstone, from the sky of heaven and destroyed, and caused
them all to perish. Even like and even thus, in the same way and manner,
shall it be, in the day when the Son of Man is disclosed and revealed.---
And I will bring forth a rare event, so extraordinary, it will inspire wonder; for
it will be in the elevated area of the sky, in heaven above and a token and
sign of these events will be throughout the entire regions under the surface of
the soil, of all the land of the world, in the earth beneath; for it will be a
visible wonder of flowing substance like blood and of flashes of lightening and
fire, with a mist of vapor of smoke: The rising of the sun in the east and
the rays of light, will become as an outlining shadow and shall be turned into
darkness, and the bright shining moon, will appear to be a blood red color;
before that great, mighty and notable, visible day of the Lord, the One in
Supreme Authority will come:---
And the sky of heaven rent
apart, departed and separated as a writing scroll when it is rolled
together;---
And he opened up the holes in the ground, the
cisterns and wells of the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the
bottomless pit, from the depthless infernal, from the holes in the ground, in
the manner as the smoke of a great burning, smoking furnace; and the sunlight
as rising in the east and the blowing air from its’ original place was darkened
from the smoke of the holes in the ground, the cisterns, the wells, the abyss
and the pit.---
And thus, I saw the horses in the
inspired appearance of the vision, and them that sat on them, having a chest
and breastplate of flaming red fire; and of jacinth, deep blue; and a yellow
sulfurous-like brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of
lions; and out of their mouths proceeded a lightning fire and smoke and a
sulfurous brimstone. By these three was the stroke, calamity and
plague that caused the third part of human beings to be outright killed and
slain to death, by the lightning fire; and by the smoke, and by the
yellow sulfurous like-brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths.---
and there were bright, glaring, shining lightning; and a
tone of sounds, noises, voices and thundering; and an earthquake, a shaking, a
commotion and tempest; and exceedingly great, large, mighty hail.---
And there were voices and noises, sounds of a tone; and roaring thunders, and
a bright, shining glare, lightning’s; and there was an exceeding great,
large and mighty earthquake and earth-shock; a shaking of the ground, a
commotion and tempest; such as this, so vast of a magnitude; such as was not
since human beings were upon the earth; so mighty an earthquake, and so
exceedingly great, large and mighty, so full of power.---
and there descended and fell upon human beings, a great, large and mighty
hail out of the sky of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent-like:
and human beings blasphemed, defamed and spoke evil of the very exceeding God;
Deity, because of the plague, stroke and calamity of the hail; for the
plague, stroke and calamity thereof was exceeding and vehemently, in high
degree, very great; for it was extremely severe and terrible.
