especially with night flights; therefore, in recent
years flights were cancelled in the region of
major tuff eruptions like in the case of a recent
eruption in Iceland (2012) in Europe that caused
several million Euros loss to airlines.
Tuff eruption and gas emission cause health
problems for people living in the vicinity of volcanoes and strong air pollution could also cause
increase in the death rate.
