Baņos volcano smoke ?
Posted: Wed July 25, 2007 09:04 PM UTC
i am thinking of spending some time in banos, or possibly patate - so i would like to know if there is smoke there - from the volcano. and if so, how much and how often? have people complained of it hurting their eyes, or causing a chronic cough?

when i lived on the big island of hawaii, i got very sick from the volcano smoke on the kona side. it looked like the smog in los angeles, and everyone called it vog.

thank you - i appreciate your help.

My experience in Banos in Feb of 2006 and 2007 was that there was no noticeable problem from the volcano (Tungurahua) ash. The smoke can be seen from a distance but isn't irritating to the eyes at all. Of course, if the volcano actively erupts again as it did in Aug. 2006, well that would be a different story...
