Source: International Volcanic Health Hazard Network (IVHHN). Published: 7/2019. This 13-page document provides information about the development of standardized protocols to facilitate epidemiological studies of populations that have been, or may be in the future, exposed to volcanic ash and gases. The intent is for these protocols to be applicable in all volcanic contexts and settings, regardless of resource availability, health records systems, or timeframe. The overarching purpose is to determine if there has been a short-term increase, at either the individual or population level, in adverse health outcomes following a volcanic eruption. (PDF)
