WHITE ISLAND – NEW ZEALAND – DECEMBER 2019
The volcanic island Whakaari / ‘White Island’ in New Zealand’s north-eastern
Bay of Plenty. Erupted on 9 December 2019. There were 47 people on the
island at the time. Twenty one people were killed, including two who
are missing and declared dead, and a further twenty-six
people suffered injuries, many of whom suffered severe
burns. The ongoing seismic and volcanic activity
in the area as well as heavy rainfall, low
visibility and toxic gases hampered
recovery efforts over the week
following the incident.
White Island New Zealand – December 2019
Extract from ‘Geology & Hazards’ – Volcanic Gases:
… Gases are continually emitted from the craters and fumaroles on White Island, at rates of several hundred to several thousand tonnes per day. These gases are mostly steam, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide, with small quantities of halogen gases (chlorine and fluorine). The acid gases combine with water in the steam/gas clouds to form liquid acid droplets which sting the eyes and skin, and affect breathing. They also severely damage cameras, electronic equipment and clothing. Visitors to White Island should avoid steam/gas clouds, and watch for wind changes that could blow clouds in their direction. Gas masks with acid gas filters are advisable … MORE

“… I am interested that reporters are NOT discussing Hydrogen Fluoride gas emissions from this volcano that is known to emit 1500 to 2000 kilogram of HF gas each day, when it is in its “quiet” mode. Hydrogen fluoride inhalation has caused death in numerous industrial accidents, usually within 24 hours and burns to the skin from this gas have claimed victims some
days later … ” Dr Geoff Pain → HERE
” Volcanic eruptions may also affect the climate, especially if there are
many large-scale eruptions over a short space of time which
add volcanic dust and fluorides to the atmosphere.”

“… putting fluoride in the shared resource of public water is non-consensual
medical experimentation–a violation of medical ethics and human rights…”![gold-ribbon-1413076](http://fluoridationqueensland.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/gold-ribbon-1413076-300x100.jpg)
