However, the USGS warned that high concentrations of volcanic gases are expected to remain in the atmosphere and "could have far-reaching downwind effects." Photo: Xinhua.

Kilauea’s recent volcanic eruption released an estimated 55,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, a toxic, pungent gas that forms as volcanic ash after it erupts. It can cause respiratory and other health problems when it is present in high concentrations in the atmosphere. Photo: GE Ulrich, USGS.
