Source: International Volcanic Health Hazard Network (IVHHN). Published: 1/2019. This 11-page document presents a standardized protocol to undertake a cross-sectional study to examine respiratory and other short-term health effects of individuals who have been exposed to volcanic emissions from a specific event, including those environmentally or occupationally exposed. The intent is for this protocol to be applicable in all volcanic contexts and settings, and to be tailored to suit resource availability. (PDF)
