Scientists who follow the evolution of
the La Palma volcano
continue to observe a decrease in the different parameters associated with the eruption
(seismicity, amplitude of the tremor, deformation, sulfur dioxide emission levels
), which gives the impression that the system "it has less and less energy."

The decrease in SO2 and the earthquakes indicate that the volcano has less and less energy
The decrease in the levels of sulfur dioxide (SO2) that emanates from
the La Palma volcano
and in earthquakes at intermediate depth points to the fact that the volcanic system has less and less energy, according to scientists who analyze the eruption that began in
Cumbre Vieja
on last September 19.
In fact, the sulfur dioxide emissions associated with the volcanic plume fluctuated this Saturday between 2,000 and 4,000 tons, far from the more than 50,000 tons that were recorded on September 23, although the scientific spokesperson for the Volcanic Emergency Plan from the Canary Islands
(Pevolca)
, María José Blanco, recalled this Sunday at a press conference that they are still high values.
"It seems that the system has less and less energy and the levels of intermediate seismicity, tremor, deformation and sulfur dioxide show
a stable or downward trend,
but we must wait for it to be maintained over time," he said. the scientific spokesperson.

Poor air quality prevents access to the coast of the Aridane Valley through Fuencaliente
The Cabildo de La Palma has announced access to the coast of the Aridane Valley through Fuencaliente will remain closed this Sunday due to poor air quality.
Data from the Ministry for Ecological Transition indicate that in the environment closest to the volcano, the air quality is very unfavorable due to the concentration of particles below ten microns.

Those affected by the volcano demand more specificity and immediacy in aid
The president of the
Cumbre Vieja
Volcano Social Association
, Juan Vicente Rodríguez Leal, has asked public administrations to be more specific when determining the promised aid in relation to the damage caused by the eruption, and to arrive "as soon as possible. ".
Rodríguez Leal has regretted in an appearance before the media that aid has been announced for an amount greater than 200 million euros "but that it has not been specified in what way and when they will reach those affected" and therefore requires the administrations to specify them and to which economic sectors they are going to apply.
He has also demanded that the use of the land be classified so that those affected who want to rebuild their homes can do so.

farmers
affected by the
volcano
of
Cumbre Vieja
can continue to
receive aid community.
Planas will transfer this demand to the Community Executive in the framework of the meeting of the Twenty-seven Ministers of Agriculture held in Brussels and in which the Spanish delegation has included an information point on the impact of the
volcano
on the Canary Island, specifically in the agricultural sector.
The objective of the Government is to inform the rest of the partners of the bloc about the damages that are occurring directly on farms and other indirect problems related, for example, with cuts in communication routes and destruction of irrigation infrastructure, diplomatic sources point out. .

Air quality on La Palma is reasonably good in all seasons
Air quality in
La Palma
is reasonably good in all seasons, except for occasional episodes of exceeding the daily threshold due to sulfur dioxide in Puntagorda and suspended particles of less than 10 microns in Los Llanos de Aridane.
Pevolca hopes to have more data today on the possible proximity to La Palma of a storm that is forming in the south of the Azores, although in any case Morcuende has stressed that there would be no rains in the vicinity of the volcanic cone, because it has "its own atmosphere ".

The 'Volcán Menu' that La Palma swallows: like 200,000 cars a day and an ash that could cause cancer in cases of high exposure
No matter how much mask you constantly wear, no matter how much you wear astronaut-like glasses, it doesn't matter: the ash gets everywhere.
In the ears, between the toes, in the food: grains of black sand everywhere is the daily bread of the palmeros for the last eight weeks.
And the problem is not that the body is filled, on the outside, with this volcanic ash made of dozens of compounds: the problem is what goes inside,
through the mouth, or through the respiratory tract
.
Eating in these weeks on any terrace in the Aridane Valley supposes assuming that one is ingesting a bit of the volcano.
There, the most dangerous are the so-called
PM10
: microparticles of more than ten microns in size that, according to what high health officials of the Cabildo de La Palma admit to this newspaper, "in high quantities and with a very high exposure, could cause cancer, because they are the same compounds that cause the greenhouse effect. "

The new strip of the La Palma volcano continues to grow fed by three flows
The new Fajana of the
volcano
of
La Palma
has been created this week on the beach in Los Guirres continues to
grow thanks to the power of lava that is receiving the
castings 1, 2 and 9
, while the rest of coladas remain stable, with lava running mainly through areas that have already been trampled and that already have a magma cover on the outside.
The technical director of Pevolca, Miguel Ángel Morcuende, has reported that everything remains similar, so there are no overflows or spills to other points, and growth is only taking place in the lava delta.
The technical director stressed that seismicity continues to be maintained at intermediate depths, between 10 and 15 km, and at high depths, more than 30 km, and is not being recorded at the surface level.
Seismicity continues at low values, consolidating the evolution that has been registered in the last two days, and above all, deep seismicity remains constant.
Although there has been a decrease in earthquakes, today there has been an earthquake of magnitude 5.0 mbLg, which has been felt with a maximum intensity of IV-V in La Palma, La Gomera and Tenerife.
