Volcanic ash spewing from Taal Volcano in the Philippines is not likely to affect Taiwan’s air quality for now, the Central Weather Bureau said yesterday.

Smoke and ash spewing from the volcano had reached an altitude of more than 10km on Monday, the bureau said, citing an infrared satellite cloud chart.

The ejected substance is expected to rapidly move northeast in the medium-to-high troposphere, it said.

From Monday to today, the volcanic ash would mainly spread to the Pacific region east of 125 degrees longitude, it said.    [FULL  STORY]
