๐ซ๏ธ Ash is made of tiny rock and glass particlesโit may look like dust, but it can irritate your eyes, nose, throat, and lungs
๐ Even light ashfall can affect local air quality
Together, as responsible students and environmental advocates, letโs stay informed and look out for one another. Here are a few reminders to stay safe:
๐ท Wear a face mask (N95 or damp cloth) when going outdoors
๐ช Keep windows and doors closed as much as possible
๐ง Stay hydrated and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities
๐ Avoid driving unless necessaryโash reduces visibility and can damage engines
๐ง๏ธ Watch out for lahars in the days/weeks after, especially when it rains
โจ Small actions can make a big difference in protecting our health and our environment. Letโs stay informed, follow official advisories, and take simple precautions to keep ourselves and our community safe. Stay safe, SciHi! ๐๐ฟ
